Extending the native model class but having problems with the constructor - El Forum - 06-04-2010
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi there,
I'm trying to extend the native model class so that it has a default method that gets all the data from the db table of the same name as the model. The problem is that any code that i put in the constructor doesn't seem to run, although i have seen examples of using the constructor in an extended native class on the web. Can anyone help?
Code:
class MY_Model extends Model {
var $tableName;
function MY_Model() {
parent::Model();
$modelName = explode('_model',get_class($this));
$this->tableName = strtolower($modelName[0]);
}
function getAll($sortData = array(),$fields = array()) {
if(!empty($sortData)) {
$this->db->order_by($sortData['sort_field'],$sortData['sort_direction']);
}
if(!empty($fields)) {
$this->db->select($fields);
}
return $this->db->get($this->tableName)->result_array();
}
}thanks!!
