Defining a global variable

[eluser]carlhussey[/eluser]
I have a Menu model that I made that gets loaded into my view. I want to be able to just autoload the model but I need to pass the URI to the model so it can set classes.

Is there a way to do this? Can i include the URI functions in the model it self so whatever controller calls the model, it will just proccess the URI of the page its loaded into?

You can extend the CI_Controller and set a variable that is
then available in your model.

You can use the URI class inside your model and it will pull that particular page's url structure just like in a controller.
