in the documentation for the model class it says that you can use a third parameter to configure your database settings.

i was curious if you can use the 3rd parameter to be passed into the current model being instantiated?

for instance:

$this->load->model('Model_name', '', $parameters_for_this_model);

Just catch the 3rd parameter, for example:

Code:
$param = $this->uri->segment(3);

and do with $param whatever you want.

In your case:

Code:
$param = $this->uri->segment(3);

$this->load->model(’Model_name’, ‘’, $param);

or shorter:

Code:
$this->load->model(’Model_name’, ‘’, $this->uri->segment(3));
