In Laravel 4 I want to use a model that represents an Event coming from my database. Thus, in app/models I have my Event model that extends Eloquent.
然而，Laravel 4已经有了一个Event类，用于管理应用程序生命周期内的事件.
What I want to know is, how can I properly namespace my Event model and access it in a way that will not clash with the existing Event class.
你只需要像平常一样给它应用一个名称空间.比如说.
<?php namespace Models;
use Eloquent;
class Event extends Eloquent {
}
You should then correctly setup your composer.json so that it loads your models. You could use classmap or psr-0 for this, depending on whether or not you're following PSR-0 with your directory structure.
I'm pretty sure the models directory is already mapped.
Edit
As mentioned in the comments you must run composer dump-autoload.
