Hopefully a simple question: I've a plugin which uses a set of tables (kb_items, kb_item_tags, etc). and I'd like to be able to access these models from another controller (say, my Pages controller), thus:
class PagesController extends AppController{
function knowledgebase(){
  $items = $this->KbItem->findAll(...);
}
}
I am admittedly breaking the rules a little (by not placing this controller inside the knowledge base plugin), but this in this case its a custom page that doesn't need to be part of the knowledge base plugin code base.
Please let me know if you need more details. Thanks in advance for any help!
