Active record WHERE clause not working?

[eluser]xarazar[/eluser]
Just to clarify this is the exact setup of my app:

Code:

class Site extends CI_Controller{
    function index(){
        $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);
        $q = $this->db->where('url', 'home');
        $q = $this->db->get('content');
        print_r($q->result());
    }
}

The above works as expected, prints out one record from the database, the profiler shows the executed query.

When I change the setup to:

Code:

class Site extends CI_Controller{
    function index(){
        $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);
        print_r($this->site_model->get_page('home'));
    }
}


class Site_model extends CI_Model{
    
    function get_page($url = 'home'){
        $q = $this->db->where('url',  $url);
        $q = $this->db->get('content');
        return $q->result();
    }
}

The script prints out all the records from the table = the WHERE clause doesn't work.

When I modify my model to use get_where like this:

Code:

class Site_model extends CI_Model{
    function get_page($url = 'home'){
        $q = $this->db->get_where('content',  array('url' => $url));
        return $q->result();
    }
}

everything seems to be working fine.

I'm this close to going back to CI 1.7.3 so any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
