About

The model override allows for simple creation of models in Codeigniter 3.x For default functionality, all you need to do is extend the MY_Model class.

In most cases, this means all you have to do is specify the table you want the model to be used with and you are as good as done

Assumptions

• A single model will only attach to a single table.

Although you may change the value of the table from method to method through $this->table_name = 'new_table_name', this is not recommended as it may be confusing to understand in future.

Usage

1. Copy the core folder into your Codeigniter 3.x application/ directory

2. Extend the MY_Model class when creating a model.

    class Custom_Model extends MY_Model
    {
        function __construct()
        {
            # This is the table name the model will use
            parent:__construct('your_table_name');
        }

        // Overrides go here
    }

Using joins

When using joins, simply create an override for the read method and add the joins at the top as shown in this example. Ensure that the parameters are the same as the parent class(MY_Model) method parameters

    // Public because we won't be extending this class
    public function read($filters,$limit=NULL,$offset=0,$is_strict=TRUE)
    {
        # Your joins go here.. For example:
        $this->db->join('comments', 'comments.id = blogs.id');

        return $this->read($filters,$limit,$offset,$is_strict);
    }
