Loading config items from models

[eluser]tarciozemel[/eluser]
Hi, folks!

I'm trying to load config items from my models, but I can't do. I have important values to be used in model functions parameters and I really need this.

I already tryed:

Code:

var $config_value = $this->config->item('whatever');

And

Code:

var $CI =& get_instance();
var $config_value = $CI->config->item('whatever');

But not works. :down:

Suggestions?
