model to model function calling?

[eluser]delay[/eluser]
Thanks gon and Randy,

I think is what I need to do is to extend one of the existing helpers. The CI built-in ones don't do exactly what I need done and I do want to kind of do it in the CI correct way, since I am trying to learn the ins and outs of the framework anyway.

Thanks for both of your input, it was very helpful.
