laravel - Adding Model directories to the ClassLoader -

i using october, cms built on top of laravel framework.

in october, pretty plugin based, , models seem defined exclusively within plugin/model directories. unfortunately, need define , use number of site-wide models. end, have created classic laravel app/models directory , placed them in there.

the framework, however, not detect these models , auto-load them. have had success including them in standard php files, extent. however, when attempt define relationships between models run problems. think (this wrong) need use whatever autoload system laravel/october.

i found illuminate\support\classloader , tried using adddirectories() method, passing in ['app/models'] in hopes models undergo "standard" autoload process. unfortunately, while didn't break anything, didn't fix either.

the question:

how can specify custom directory laravel application load upon startup? additional steps need register models have in aforementioned directory?

you can add classmap in composer.json file:

"autoload": {     "classmap": [         "app/models"     ] } 

the way set in regular laravel install.
