Hi,
can anyone tell me - is it possible to pass a string name equivalent of a
model name(example:- have a model called food_dept and i am passing the
string "food_dept" to a method) and then covert(or cast) it to its original
model equivalent so that i can use its object in the called method. and why
i am i trying to this manner is because i want to avoid passing an object
which will make it very heavy. i think there should be some better elegant
manner of doing this. can any one help me with this?
ciao
