Cakephp ignoring my Model

Question

Why is cake ignoring my Model? I don’t understand. I have several other models working perfectly, but this one is not working. It is being ignored.

Model name: Typeobservacao.php

Contents of the model:

App::uses('AppModel', 'Model');

class TiposObservacao extends AppModel {

    public $useTable = 'tipos_observacoes';
    public $primaryKey = 'tipo_observacao_id';

   public $hasMany = array(
     "Observacao" => array(
              'className' => 'Atendimento.Observacao',
              'foreignKey' => 'tipo_observacao_id',
            )
   );

}

Answer 1

If your controller associated with this model is called "Typosobservacaos", obeying the established naming convention, then Cake should recognize without problem.

If the model is used in any other controller, use the $uses attribute:

class QualquerController extends AppController
{
     public $uses = array('TiposObservacao');
}

This way, Cake will instantiate the model for you in the variable $Typeremarks

$this->TiposObservacao->find();
