Changing CakePHP's Model useTable on the Fly

I finally found an answer to/solution to something I've never been able to get around in CakePHP before: dynamically changing/setting the useTable value in a model.  You can't just say $this->CakePHPModel->useTable = 'cakephp_table_name';  Instead you have to use the following function:

Setting CakePHP Model useTable Dynamically

  1. $this->CakePHPModelName->setSource('table_name');

Thanks to Give Me Cake for sharing.  This will work from the controller or the model.  I'm using it to build an all-purpose importer model.

Cheers,
