[...] December 8, 2011 | PHP | 0 Comments For the past year, I have been an adamant CodeIgniter developer. The one thing that I have found lacking, however, is CodeIgniter’s model class. I am a big fan of the simplicity of CakePHP’s ORM structure, and wrote this model class to (slightly) mimic it. Some of the functionality in this extended model is inspired by Emran Hasan’s CodeIgniter Extended Model Class. [...]

On line 123 it is correct the way it is with Model. The class itself is already extended with MY_Model extends Model therefore the function Model() within the MY_Model class in MY_Model.php is replacing the function Model() in the original Model.php, and since there is no MY_Model function in the original Model.php, if you changed line 123 to “function MY_Model()” the the Model() function would not be overridden, but instead it would use the original Model() function from Model.php which defeats the purpose of having a class override.

Thanks for this library! It helped me very much
There was problems with cookie transfer, but I replaced this line:

$cookieString = join('&', $tempString);

with this:

$cookieString = join('; ', $tempString);

and it worked for me.

Hi Ron,

At this moment JOIN is not supported within this class. The purpose of this
class is to assist with most regular DB operation, not the complex ones. I
believe when using JOIN, the query should be hand-written with proper
ordering etc.

Glad this is helping you!

Hi Emran,

Great job on this! I was testing it out and it worked perfectly.

One thing though--is it possible to join tables with this? For example, if you have two tables such as 'products' and another called 'images', where product image names are stored in the images table. How would you do the combine and throw in a condition?

On line 123 of the My_Models.php file, shouldn't the constructor by My_Model instead of just Model?

Emran, thanks for making this available.

I was wondering if you could post some sample code showing how you generally use the extended model, specifically when creating a new record.

Thanks.

I've found 1 bug in MY_Model:

When I use $returnArray = FALSE, findCount() got error. So I changed this code:

$data = $this->findAll($conditions, 'COUNT(*) AS count', null, 0, 1);

if ($data)
{
return $data[0]['count'];
}

to this:

$data = $this->findAll($conditions, 'COUNT(*) AS count', null, 0, 1);

if ($data)
{//fixed by starrynighthn
if ($this->returnArray)
return $data[0]['count'];
else
return $data[0]->count;
}

and everything works well.
Hope you fix this bug. ;)
