CakePHP: calling other Model functions

Question

How can i call, from a Model, a function present in another model? I would like not to repeat code.

Answer 1

We can use Model relation to call the function in another model. Eg.

$this->Model->ModelOne->find();
$this->Model->ModelOne->customFunc();

If there is no relation in the models, The we can use

$this->loadModel('ModelName');

To use in the model. In this case you can use

$this->ModelName->function();

directly as you've loaded that model.
