DataMapper ORM v1.8.2

@imohammad: As far as I know it does not retrieve it from the database (check your check_last_query()) but it does have the empty values, because those are defined by the columns in the database. There is no real reason you would not need that. But the select from the database does actually leave it out and do a proper select (it uses codeigniter's active record).

---------------------------------------------

Now! I have a question myself! I am trying to code some defaults for when people make a certain object in the user interface. I got something like this:

Code:

// Get the values from the config file
  $this->CI->load->config('leerlijnen');
  $defaults = $this->CI->config->item('default_leerlijn');
  
  // Create categorieen
  foreach($defaults['categorieen'] as $c)
  {
   $categorie = new Categorie();
   $categorie->from_array($c);
   //TODO
  }

unset($defaults['categorieen']);

$this->from_array($defaults);
  
  return $this;

The thing is, how can I assign a relationship to a datamapper object without saving? These things are supposed to be defaults that the user changes and submits. They should not appear in the database.
