[In the Works] Datamapper ORM Class

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
Maybe a stupid remark but the examples state that the controller acts as a model because of the data manipulations and preparations.

I would rather see something like this

Code:

// model

function Some_model()
{
    parent::Model();
    $this->datamapper->model('user');
    // load additional tables
}
function user_get($array = array())
{
   return new User($array);
}

function user_save($mixed,$properties=array())
{
   $u = (empty($properties)?new User():new User($properties);
   }
   if(is_string($mixed))
   {
      $u->fromForm($mixed);
   }
   else
   {
       foreach($mixed as $key=>$val)
       {
           $u->$key = $val;
       }
   }
   $u->save();  
}

// controller
function Some_Controller()
{
    parent::Controller();
    $this->load->model('some_model');
}

function edit()
{
  
   $this->some_model->user_save('signup');
}

Another question is how to get the validation errors for displaying?
