Adding a Model class under system? - El Forum - 11-04-2008

I have a few sites running off the same server. Since all these sites are using CI and they all have the same User model, I would really like to just have 1 User model class.
However, I don't see a model folder under system. So, this is what I have been doing. I create a super User class, MyUser, in another directory, system/models. In system/application/models, I would create a User class that extends MyUser.
I'm sure there must be a more elegant to do this. Please advise.
Thanks,
Justin

You may want to look at Modular Extensions or MatchBox and separate this into a module that can be added into all the different applications. Or you could, if you are using linux exclusively, use a symbolic link from each of the model folders to that model. Are these applications using the same actual User data or just the same class?

K, I'll look into your suggestions.
Can you have multiple folders in the models directory? Oh wow, I didn't know that. That's sweet. Can you have multiple folders in the controllers directory?
It is using the same class with different database. So, I would point the db to the right table.
Thanks!

Yes, and yes.

K, I got models to work with multiple directories by simply putting in the folder name when i tried to load a model. How about controllers? I mean, the entry point is the controller class. So, I'm not sure how I can put a controller in subdirectory.
Please advice.
Thanks
