Am I using this base model correctly? - El Forum - 06-15-2011

I'm still trying to wrap my head around OOP in PHP, it would be great if someone could cluebat me if I'm totally off base here:
I found a really nice base model which takes care of the basic CRUD functionality in models, this one:
https://github.com/jamierumbelow/codeigniter-base-model
Using that I've been able to remove a lot of my model code. But the docs are pretty minimal, so I'm not sure how to go about overriding one of the methods -- say, for instance, I want to customize the insert method in my application/models/foo.php:
Code:
class Phrase_model extends MY_Model { // MY_Model is the one from the link
public function __constructor(){
parent::__construct();
}
public function insert($data){
// do my stuff to $data
parent::insert($data);
}That seems to work -- am I on the right track?
Thanks!

Yes I find the way you did it the easiest. Especially when I go to view it later
Another option could be to tie into the before_create part of that file.
