FuelPHP Forums

FIXED I got it, sorry for this post. It seems I had to extend Orm\Model and not \Model.
I made some mistakes while reading the documents and confused things with one and other..
Hi Again.. I got my modules working and want to play with FuelPHP's models.
However I really can't get it to work, tried multiple things for however to no result. The module name is Admin and I have a model called object types:

<?php

namespace Admin;

use \Orm\Model;

class Model_Objecttypes extends \Model
{
    protected static $_table_name = 'objects_types';
 
 protected static $_properties = array(
        'id', // both validation & typing observers will ignore the PK
        'name' => array(
            'data_type' => 'varchar',
            'label' => 'Name',
            'validation' => array('required'),
            'form' => array('type' => 'text'),
            'default' => 'Nieuw object',
        ),
        'slug' => array(
            'data_type' => 'varchar',
            'label' => 'Gender',
            'form' => array('type' => 'text'),
            'validation' => array('required'),
        )
    );
 
}

When using the model for example trying to get a db record in the objecttypes controller:

<?php

namespace Admin;

class Controller_Objecttypes extends Controller_Base
{

 /**
  * The basic welcome message
  * 
  * @access  public
  * @return  Response
  */
 public function action_index()
 {
  
  $entry = \Admin\Model_Objecttypes::find(2);
  
  var_dump($entry);
  
  // return the rendered HTML to the Request
                return \View::forge('objecttypes/index', $this->views)->render();
 }

}

I receive the message: ErrorException [ Error ]: Call to undefined method Admin\Model_Objecttypes::find() Now I assumed that using an ORM (never did that before) the method "find" would be a part of the ORM which leads me to think that extending \Model failed, but if that was true I would receive an error message saying so. So my question, what am I doing wrong?
