Cakephp模型有几个数据源

Question

I have a model called Forwards this model uses a table from my Database. However it is required for some of the views connected to this model to use my costum datasource (This is a datasource i have created which links it to an API).

Now my question how can i add a datasource to a Model that already has a datasource.

And how can i tell the Paginator that it has to use this datasource when it is paginating (so it doesnt confilct)

Update

I have been reading abit it seems the only way to use two datasource in a model is to Hack abit, so i was wondering is it possible to use two models from one controller while still paginating?

i want to keep these settings

public $paginate = array(
    'fields' => array(
        'Offer.id',
        'Offer.name',
        'OfferUrl.preview_url',
        'Stat.ltr',
        'Stat.cpc',
        'Category.name',
        'Country.name')

, 'conditions' => array('Stat.date' => array(
            'conditional' => 'BETWEEN'
        , 'values' => array()
        ),
    ),
    'group' => array('Stat.offer_id'),
    'Method' => 'getStats',
    'totals' => true,
    'limit' => 20
);

I set these within my controller

You can change the data source by calling Model::setDatasSource().

You can change the model the paginator uses by:

$this->Paginator->paginate($ModelInstance);

Or

$this->Paginator->paginate('ModelName');

You might want to read that page.

Don't use Controller::paginate any more but instead $this->Paginator->settings. For settings per model use

$this->Paginator->settings['ModelName'] = array(/*...*/);
