using $this->load->model on Modular Extensions fails

[eluser]moksahero[/eluser]
Hello,

I'm having trouble loading model using Modular Extensions.

The way I was trying was to use the first letter capital as:

$this->load->model('Customer_model')

this

modules_find function at line:130 in modular_helper.php doesn't include lower case string so that this fails and the follwing error

Code:

An Error Was Encountered

Unable to locate the requested file: ../system/application/models/admin/Customer_model.php

Is there a way to use class name with capital as suggested in CI user guide?

Thanks

Model class names must be Capitalised, but file names must be lowercase as suggested in the CI user guide.

In the user guide:

http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...odels.html

under "Loading a Model" section model names with first letter being capital is used. for $this->Model_name->function(). This has been the way I have loaded and called all model related functions and I expected Modular Extensions to behave the same.

Am I missing something??

You are in right track. please check what is your file name. if your model class name Customer_model then file name should be customer_model.php.

or check it into the manual

If you would like your model assigned to a different object name you can specify it via the second parameter of the loading function:

Code:

$this->load->model('Model_name', 'fubar');

$this->fubar->function();

]

hope this will help you.

The problem is that when I use :

$this->load->model('Customer_model');

ME looks for Customer_model.php not customer_model.php in the directory.

I saw the piece of code in ME that was not using lower case for file names and I started fixing it but I thought better to involve community with it.

Thanks

ME checks for both lowercase filenames (customer_model.php) and capitalised filenames (Customer_model.php) in modules_find() method.

However you must use lowercase object names when loading and accessing them.

Code:

$this->load->model('customer_model');

$this->customer_model->get();

// or you can use an alias as per the user guide.
