$this->blog_model->func() and $this->blog->func() - El Forum - 09-26-2009

I want to use $this->blog->func() instead of $this->blog_model->func()
How should I do
If I use $this->blog->func(), it will shows :
Unable to locate the model you have specified: blog

You might wanna read up on that first lesson in programing... ;-)
Code:
$this->blog->func();
//First you need to load the model, if it is a model, in the models folder.
$this->load->model('model_name'); //If theres a model called model_name it's now loaded.
//If you have created a method/function called method_get_stuff_from_db() you can use it, or maybe we could say reach, it like this.

Have a look at the user guide: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/loader.html
Quote:If you would like your model assigned to a different object name you can specify it via the second parameter of the loading function:
Code:$this->load->model('Model_name', 'fubar');
$this->fubar->function();

Don't forget that if you use $this->blog for a model, you can't name your controller "Blog".

You can use blog as a model alias name and have a blog controller class, as PistolPete suggests above. (but it may be confusing)

Thanks for correcting me, I tried it some time ago and got an error (PHP4 fault?), will try again.
