And yet another question about namespaces (here regarding Package models)

Permalink
Dear Fivers – how do you call Concrete5 users btw? –,

I'd like to use a model in my custom package but the system fails to load it, most probably because of a namespace issue.

I followed the recommended file structure and everything went fine (I can install the package, I get the link in the dashboard, the view displays fine). I now need to make use of a model which is my dB access wrapper (I followed Remo's book example) but I'm not able to access it.

Here is my tree
└── ginox_product
    ├── controller.php
    ├── controllers
    │   └── single_page
    │       └── dashboard
    │           └── modularity.php
    ├── icon.png
    ├── models
    │   └── dashboard
    │       └── modularity.php
    └── single_pages
        └── dashboard
            └── modularity.php

Here is my model:
<?php namespace Concrete\Package\GinoxProduct\Models\Dashboard\Modularity;
use \Concrete\Core\Legacy\Model;
use Loader;
class GinoxModularity extends Model {
        public static function getAll() {
            $query = 'SELECT * FROM btModularity';
            return GinoxModularity::getModularity($query);
        }
    ....

and there my controller:
<?php namespace Concrete\Package\GinoxProduct\Controller\SinglePage\Dashboard;
use \Concrete\Core\Page\Controller\DashboardPageController;
use \Concrete\Package\GinoxProduct\Models\Dashboard\Modularity\GinoxModularity as GinoxModularity;
use Package;
use BlockType;
use SinglePage;
use Loader;
class Modularity extends DashboardPageController {
   public $helpers = array('form', 'html');
   public function view() {
       $this->set('modularities', GinoxModularity::getAll());
   }
  ...

I suspect that the following line is culprit but I couldn't find any proper fix for it:
use \Concrete\Package\GinoxProduct\Models\Dashboard\Modularity\GinoxModularity as GinoxModularity;

Do you guys have any clues about this?
Thank you in advance

The namespacing and class name in your model is not correct you need it to be

namespace Concrete\Package\GinoxProduct\Models\Dashboard;
use \Concrete\Core\Legacy\Model;
use Loader;
class Modularity extends Model


If you don't want to change your class name you need to change the name of the model file to be ginox_modularity.php instead of modularity.php, they have to match.

And then in your controller the use statement is incorrect too, it should be 

use \Concrete\Package\GinoxProduct\Models\Dashboard\Modularity as GinoxModularity;

Thank you for your message Hutman but I get the exact same error.

C5 is unable to find the class.

I'll give it another try asap but as for now I use the model code inside my controller.

Thanks!
