DataMapper ORM v1.8.0

@Basketcasesoftware,

I have added this to the welcome controller's index method (using a spanking new CI2 install):

Code:

$this->load->library('datamapper');
$this->load->library('test');
$this->test->dmload();

The test library looks like this:

Code:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Test
{
    function dmload()
    {
        $dmobj = new Dmobj();
        var_dump($dmobj);
    }
}

Which loads the model as advertised.

Are you sure the Datamapper library is loaded when you attempt to load the model? If not, the autoloader is not active, which would be the only reason I can think of why it would not work...

Datamapper objects are not CI objects, so there is no $this, $this->ci or $this->datamapper involved in accessing them.

edit: if the model is in an HMVC module, the module must be loaded/used before you can load models from it. Datamapper uses the loader array $_ci_model_paths to determine where to load models from. Modular CI does this when you make the module known to the application (using $this->load->module), Modular Extensions via the _add_module_paths() method which is called when the module is loaded. This implies that you can only autoload module models from within the module. You can work around that by adding the path manually, using

Code:

$this->load->_add_module_paths('mymodule');
