Calling models from helpers
#1

Is there any way of calling functions in models from a helper?

Or alternatively, what would be the best way of having some code (for a dynamic menu) accessible by lots of different controllers?

Thanks,
Chris

1) if you load the helper, the functions will be available in every place

2) you can extend your controller class defining a library MY_Controller or using a hook

Code:
$CI = &get;_instance();
$CI->load->model('Something');
$CI->Something->do();

Perfect! Thanks ReGeDa.

The first line did throw an error in Hebrew (!!!) with the semi-colon in:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in D:\WebSites\SilverMine\system\application\helpers\cart_helper.php on line 5

it's problem of forum post. you can try it by yourself. write in form post "&get;_instance();" without ';' and you will have with ';'
Code:
&get;_instance();

Hint: Use &/amp/; minus the slashes ie:

&get_instance();

Sorry, doesn't work in code blocks. Sad
