Comments on: CodeIgniter: Extending the native ‘Model’ and make it your own. http://www.askaboutphp.com/50/codeigniter-extending-the-native-model-and-make-it-your-own.html Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:32:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Salient Digital http://www.askaboutphp.com/50/codeigniter-extending-the-native-model-and-make-it-your-own.html/comment-page-1#comment-40918 Salient Digital Thu, 09 Jun 2011 16:54:32 +0000 http://www.askaboutphp.com/?p=50#comment-40918 The good news is, this old post has great link authority. Bad news is it's written for CodeIgniter 1.x. If you want to do the same for CodeIgniter 2.x you do: class Model_name extends CI_Model { function __construct() { // Call the Model constructor parent::__construct(); } // other stuff } Also, I've had good luck <a href="http://www.highermedia.com/articles/nuts_bolts/codeigniter_base_classes_revisited" rel="nofollow">using base classes and base models in CodeIgniter 2</a>. The good news is, this old post has great link authority. Bad news is it’s written for CodeIgniter 1.x. If you want to do the same for CodeIgniter 2.x you do:

// other stuff

}

Also, I’ve had good luck using base classes and base models in CodeIgniter 2.

I think this kind of thinking is one of the qualities of CI, without being able to extend it as such would mean a far more limited framwork... After all we are only just playing with standard php classes and objects.... Thanks for the post This is helpful…
