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

no, you should use ClassRegistry like so:

    //MessagesController - in my send() method...

$this->set('content', ClassRegistry::init('Content')->find('first', array(
        'conditions' => array('Content.id' => 3)

        )));

NOTE:this is from my controller but I am pretty sure it works in model too.
