Body
Background: Basically, my application has a plugin which has a Shell within it. This Shell is located in the plugin's Console > Command folder. Functions from this shell are intended to be ran from the command line. My database configuration file (database.php) is located in the application's root Config folder. I access the database in several other instances so I know there's nothing wrong with the database configuration. When I try to use any Model data retrieval methods (such as find(...)), I get the error: <blockquote> The datasource configuration "default" was not found in database.php </blockquote> This is occurring because it's looking for the database.php file inside the Plugin's Config folder, rather than the root Config folder. This only occurs when using a Shell, rather than in a Controller. My Question: How can I tell my Plugin to use the root's database.php file instead of trying to find it in it's own Config folder, when using a Shell? To reiterate: The Plugin uses the root Config/database.php file when retrieving data from a model in a Controller, but tries to use its own Config/database.php file when retrieving data from a model in a Shell. Two things that I've tried that will work: 1) Moving database.php into the Plugin's Config folder and 2) Creating a symbolic link. Both solutions seem unacceptable as I don't want to have two copies of my database.php file around, and creating a symbolic link isn't a great solution since this application will likely have to be distributing among different systems. Thanks. I should mention that this is Cakephp 2.3.6 Answer (thanks user221931): Your working path needs to be the application path, not the plugin path. You can run the plugin shell using the plugin dot notation. Like this: <pre><code>cake -app /path/to/app Plugin.shellName shellFunction </code></pre> as opposed to how I was incorrectly doing it before: <pre><code>cake -app /path/to/app/Plugin/pluginName shellName shellFunction </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
