CakePHP常见的型号

Question

I have 3-4 apps running of the same Cake library, each app has its own controllers, models and views.

I have found recently that quite a few methods within the models overlap between projects, i was wondering if it was possible to get the app models (not app_model.php) to extend the models in the cake files

e.g.

app1
    controllers
    models
        model_1.php
        model_2.php
    views
app2
    controllers
    models
        model_1.php
        model_3.php
    views
cake
    controllers
    models
        model_1.php
    views

I hope that makes sense

If you're using CakePHP 1.3, then you can modify your bootstrap.php file:

App::build(array(
    ...
    'models' =>  array('/var/www/app1/models/', '/var/www/cake/models/'),
    ...
));

But I think you'd have to rename them differently, i.e. you can't have model_1.php in both places. But you could have vehicle.php in your cake/models folder, car.php in your cars_app/models folder & bike.php in your bikes_app/models folder with the models extending the Vehicle model.

I haven't tested it, but give it a shot!
