[Deprecated] DMZ 1.5.3 (DataMapper OverZealous Edition)

hrm.. instead of a class variable you could do something like

Code:

$parent_class = get_parent_class($this);
if( FALSE !== strpos($parent, 'DataMapper') )
{
      // grab parent fields, validation etc & merge $parent_class with current model, fire joins etc.
}

i dunno. I may be trying to do too much. One of the problems i faced with this sort of 'inheritance' modeling is merging the validation array with that of its base class. It can be done with declaring them as static (which seems to fit since the validation array pertains only to its class model itself)
Again tho that's kinda changing everything around – and who knows how it would affect the rest of the methods.. If i were to ever attempt to setup a fork of DM it would need to at least be compatible with the original. I do love experimenting with it tho.

anyway i'm going to focus on tests with DMZ and possibly creating/porting extensions for it.

okay, dinner time! cheers
