Getting MY_Model and Doctrine to work together

[eluser]gh0st[/eluser]
I am in the process of building a modular cms, and have used Jamie Rumbelow's MY_Model; which I believe is automatically loaded.

However, if you autoload the Doctrine plugin via (/config/autoload.php) and then have a basic model, a la:

Code:

class Events_m extends Doctrine_Record
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();        
    }
}

This seems to work fine, but when I go to another pre-existing module (ie: news) it complains it can no longer find MY_Model.

Class 'MY_Model' not found in /modules/third_party/news/models/news_m.php
-> Note news_m.php extends MY_Model.

If I remove doctrine from autoload the errors disappear.

If I try to make the plugin load on specific controllers, it complains:

Undefined variable: db
plugins/doctrine_pi.php

This means that Doctrine can only be loaded on auto-load.
Ideally I want to be able to use MY_Model and Doctrine together.

The only solution I have found is in autoload.php to force it to load MY_Model.

But is this right? Are you meant to force load MY_Model?


Any help on this would be appreciated.
