function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
}where user is controller .
And same question for models ?

Yes, but CI does not include any autoloading functionality, so you'll need to include/require the file or set up your own autoloader.

This might help you:

Else if just wanted a handful of your controllers to extend the user controller, all you have do is include your "user" controller file in the controller/s you want to extend user like this:
Code:
<?php
include_once('path/to/user.php');
lass Social extends User {
//constructor
}controller extends controller, same for models - El Forum - 02-27-2013
