Is this EVIL in cake?

HI,

I'm building a component that automatically sets the locale data
member of a translate behaviour.

In the action I look for the lang param, then call the component
method.

I'd like the component to set the locale data member in order to avoid
to do that in ANY action.

Something like that:

// ------- component class
function initialize(&controller, .....) {
  // HERE I SAVE THE CONTROLLER INSTANCE
  $this->controller = $controller;
  ....
}

function doSomething() {

}

IS THIS EVIL IN CAKE. IS THERE ANOTHER MVC ORIENTED METHOD?

THANKS!!

Or you could just do it in the AppController::beforeFilter().

Thanks for the replies but now....HOW CAN I ACCESS THE MODEL FROM
WITHIN THE COMPONENT?

OK, I don't know if it is the same to import and use the model or to
use the default model of the controller.

In the action I save the model like this:

$this->Group->Save

So in the component I'd like to set the locale just before the save. I
would put the code in the initialize callback of the component:

....
$this->controller->[...access the group model somehow...]->locale =
the_new_locale;
....

Sorry, but I don't know if this is the same of importing the model and
use it. Pheraps the right question is:

Does '$this->Group' works on an INSTANCE or on the CLASS??

Answer this question, and I will be a happy man.


THANKS!!

try

$this->controller->{$this->controller->modelClass}->locale =
'lowercase';

OR

ClassRegistry::init('ThisModel')->locale = 'lowercase';

Depending on if you want the controller's model irrespective of what
it is, or a specific model that may or may not be attached to the
controller.
