Model relationships

Just because you have a users model and a comments model doesn't mean you can't return user data from the comments model.

I would do this:

Code:

class Comments_model extends Model {
   function getComments($entry_id){
      $this->db->select('c.comment, u.username'); //or whatever you're selecting
      $this->db->join('users u', 'c.user_id = u.id');
      $this->db->where('c.entry_id', $entry_id);
      $query = $this->db->get('comments c');
      return $query->result();
   }
}

Now you can do things like you normally would, and like you should.
