CakePHP: Call to a member function find() on a non-object

Question

I get the following errors when viewing my Admin Index

Notice (8): Undefined property: ClientsController::$Clients [APP/controllers/clients_controller.php, line          


        

Answer 1

Some potential issues:

Normally

var $name = 'Client'; // Not Clients

You have a Client, and the controller is for "Clients".

Try:

$this->set('clients', $this->Client->find('all'));

with the above suggestion on var $name.

See a more complete list of potential solutions here if that doesn't lead you down the right path.

CakePHP call to member function on non-object

Answer 2

Model names are singular in CakePHP (at least if you follow the naming conventions), which means you have to use: $this->Client->find('all');
