Advice needed. - El Forum - 02-11-2011 [eluser]chefnelone[/eluser] Hello, I need some advice on this. I have a site which has a front-end and and a back-end part. I created a MY_Models file which I'm using to extend all models used in the back-end. Now I'd like to extend the models used for the front-end to MY_Model too. But as I see, every time a fron-end model is called I'll loading all the functions which are nedded for the back-end. Plus, it's not clear to have all function in just one file. Can I extend the front-end model to other model? This is: Can I have 2 MY_Models, one to extend back-end models and one to extend front-end models? Hope someone understand what I mean. Thanks Advice needed. - El Forum - 02-11-2011 [eluser]Rolly1971[/eluser] What you could do is have 3 primary models: MY_Model - This should only have functions that are gonna be common to everything. Admin_Model - Functions for your back end, extends MY_Model Public_Model - Functions for the front end, extends MY_Model then load the appropriate model as needed.

What's wrong? Advice needed. - El Forum - 02-12-2011 [eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser] Back and Admin should both extend from MY_Model. MY_Model should everything that is used in all extended models.
