Model Automatically Inherited into Controller - El Forum - 10-13-2011
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
First post on the forums, I have just started getting my head around Codeigniter and I am very impressed.
Am i missing something though? In Rails, the model is automatically inherited into the controller if it is named the same, I have tried with Codeigniter and it doesn't seem to work.
For example, I have application/controllers/product.php and application/models/product.php and the methods aren't automatically loaded into the controller.
I have had to change the filename of the model to application/models/product_model.php and added the following the __construct in the product controller.
Code:
$this->load->model('product_model','product',TRUE);Is this the right way to do it?
