db not appearing in module. - richb201 - 01-19-2021
$this->db->set('campaign', $campaign); //set the last campaign used
I am autoloading database.php and all is OK. I have another module that is being spawned by koolreports render() command. In it I have no access to $this. So when I try to access the db from it $this->db fails. I was having the same issue with sessions. Someone up here recommended using:
$CI = & get_instance();
$CI->load->model('MyModel')->library('session');
$this->MyModel = $CI->MyModel;
$this->session = $CI->session;
which worked great.
Any idea how i can get analagous access to the db (which is already open) in another module?

There you go again with the small font size.

Sorry. I fixed that. At this point I have changed my mind and am not planning to keep the last year "run". I am still having an issue with this module, however. I can't seem to get the form to respond right away. Rather, it is delayed until after i press submit again.

If you use the autoload config to connect to the database ($autoload['libraries'] = array('database')).
Then just define the db property
$this->db = $CI->db;
Else add initialization
$CI->load->model('MyModel')->library('session')->database();
