load model from folder in codeigniter

Question

I am using codeigniter and handing admin side and users side separately. now i have model which is in admin folder and i want to call in controller of users. but when i am trying to load model from admin folder

$this->load->model('admin/myinterest_model');

$data['myInterest'] = $this->myinterest_model->selectResult('user',  $this->session->userdata['Id']);

it shows following error

Message: Undefined property: Users::$myinterest_model
Filename: controllers/users.php

Please guide me how to load model from admin

Solution 1

try this call constructor in controller and load model into it

function __construct()
    {
        // Initialization of class
        parent::__construct();

        // load the model
        $this->load->model('admin/myinterest_model');
    }

Solution 2

$this->load->model('admin/myinterest_model' , 'myinterest');

The second parameter (optional) is used to call the method.

ex:

$this->myinterest->get_users();

i have already added myinterest_model in admin folder but now i need to access a function from admin/myinterest_model in user controller so when i try to load model as you mention it didn't works

while a valid solution this isn't an answer, you are loading the model in construct or function, same thing.

i know but do you have construct method in model and controller because its compulsory. i got same error because my controller have not a construct method
