Models aren't loading - why is that? - El Forum - 01-08-2008

Hello. I know, I know... it was discussed so many times, I searched the forums but nothing helped. Problem: "Call to a member function on a non-object in C:\http\cms\system\application\models\entry.php on line 17"

Here is my code:

cms.php

Code:
&lt;?php

    class Cms extends Controller {

        function Cms() {

            parent::Controller();

            $this->load->model('Entry');

        }

        function index() {                

            $data['entries'] = $this->Entry->getAllEntries();

        }

        function entry($id) {            

            $data['entry'] = $this->Entry->getEntry($id);

        }

    }    

?&gt;

entry.php

Code:
&lt;?php

    class Entry extends Model {

        function Entry() {

            parent::Model();

        }

        function getEntry($id) {

            $this->db->where('id', $id);

            $query = $this->db->get('entries');

            return $query->result();

        }

        function getAllEntries() {

            $this->db->orderby('modified', 'desc');

            $query = $this->db->get('entries');

            return $query->result();            

        }    

    }

?&gt;

I tried everything, I changed all names to lowercase etc and it didn't work. I tried model('', TRUE); and it didn't help me too Sad

And what is interesting: it sees problem on the 17th line! There is a similliar function on 11th line and it doesn't see that. Strange?

have you autoloaded the database else you have to add

Code:
$this->load->database()

to your controller.

hi,

i am not sure, but the way i use model is:

Code:
$this->load->model('Entry','Entry',TRUE);

Please try this and mention the error if possible.

Code:
$this->db->orderby('modified', 'desc');

Make sure you have a column 'modified', and it is correctly spelled.

Yarek, I think you should call the model like this:

Code:
$this->load->model('entry');

That is, the name of the file in lower case.

Try that

@andrea, Lowercase or uppercase - it doesn't work, I already tried that.

@Dr. Dan, the name of column is correct, it's not the problem of database because there would occut another error message, right? I think so... I checked it.

$db['default']['active_r'] = TRUE;

Yes, it's and it was turned on Sad

Why do you think that the problem is in the database? I rather think that it's something with loading models, they just can't load.

Omg, I feel so ashamed... I didn't load this.

The problem is resolved - I loaded database class in the controller's contructor. It works!

Thank you all for replies. I didn't know about loading database class because I didn't know I have to do that. Victory!
