Inheritance of database methods (active record) by model - El Forum - 10-07-2007

[eluser]jahshuah[/eluser]
Is there any way for a model to inherit the default active record methods? For example, I have a model named blog_model that looks like this:

Code:
class Blog_model extends Model

{

    function Blog_model()

    {

        parent::Model();

    }

}

I know that I can define my own custom methods, however, I would like the model to also have access to things like:

Code:
$this->db->get() // would be $this->blog_model->get()

$this->db->getwhere() // would be $this->blog_model->getwhere()

$this->db->select()  // would be $this->blog_model->select()

$this->db->from() // would be $this->blog_model->from()

...etc...

Is there any way to do this without explicitly defining those functions in my model?

Thanks in advance.
