Using Preloaded Model Via BaseController in Other Controllers

@InsiteFX, @includebeer

Thank you for your replies and help.  I think I will split the difference in what I will implement.

In my BaseController, I will obtain the current url as an object instance via the URL Helper, as it is automatically loaded on every request.

PHP Code:

$this->_url_request = current_url( true ); 


I then pass that parameter to the model(s) from the controller.  If that is in-keeping with MCV patterns, I am happy to go with it.

Thanks again, much appreciated.
