API15:JView/setModel

Description

Method to add a model to the view. We support a multiple model single view system by which models are referenced by classname. A caveat to the classname referencing is that any classname prepended by JModel will be referenced by the name without JModel, eg. JModelCategory is just Category.

Syntax

& setModel(&$model, $default=false)

Parameter Name	Default Value	Description
		$model The model to add to the view.
$default	false	$default Is this the default model?

Returns

object The added model
