Extending the native Model in Codeigniter 2 - El Forum - 01-28-2011

EDIT: Fixed - should have been in /application/core

I successfully extended the Form_validation library by creating a MY_Form_validation.php in /application/libraries/ - but I can't get the same thing to work with a model.

Error message:

Quote:PHP Fatal error: Class 'MY_Model' not found in /Users/wt ...../application/models/gifts_model.php on line 2

Where /application/models/gifts_model.php has:

Code:
&lt;?php

class Gifts_model extends MY_Model {

    var $table = 'gifts';

    function Gifts_model() {

        // call the model constructor

        parent::__construct();

    }

and /application/libraries/MY_Model.php (which I've also tried putting in the /models/ directory) begins:

Code:
&lt;?php

class MY_Model extends CI_Model {

    function MY_Model()

    {

        parent::__construct();

    }

I assume I've missed something stupid - any ideas?

Thanks,
William

In 2.0, when extending core classes they must go in application/core, not application/libraries

edit: Whoops, just saw you figured this out
