Practical CodeIgniter 3 - A new book coming soon

When you say your My_Model, do you mean CIDbModel.php in your Sprint package?

That's the base model class that Sprint uses, and does the same thing as a more "traditional" MY_Model class extension that CodeIgniter provides. Avenirer's provides features that Sprint's doesn't, like the ability to handle relationships, as the OP was asking about.
