New Version:
I updated DataMapper to 1.2.1.  This includes 2 fixes.  First, I fixed the above-mentioned join_related() bug.

Second, I also discovered that save_<related_field>() was not returning TRUE or FALSE.

Please download the file attached to the first post, and replace your current datamapper.php.

@MeanStudios:
I know OverZealous has already reported your problem as a bug… but why are you using plurals and singulars in your models?? you have Class User and Class News…. I prefer to use singular cause that way I dont have to specify the name of the table.

@NachoF
Don’t forget “News” is singular when referring to “the news”, like in newspapers.

Oh, I see… so in theory there would be no need to specify the name of the table, right>?

Well, I’m not saying it wouldn’t cause problems (it might), just pointing out that news is singular and plural, like moose or deer.

That being said, having the model and table both named “news” should work.  I’ve just never tested it.

@OverZealous
*whew* I thought I was doing something wrong haha.  Thanks for fixing it so quickly!!
Yup, don’t think there is a singular word for news .  Maybe newsi? hehe

Found another bug heh

Using the same code as above it’s producing that query and it’s saying, “Unknown column ‘news.*’ in ‘field list’” because it’s escaping the ‘*’.  It should be:

I’m trying to find out where it’s doing that in the code but I don’t have much time to dedicate toward that .

Oops, sorry I missed that ><.
I could have swore I downloaded the latest CI 1.7.1…..weird.

Thanks

I have to say datamapper and dmz really are great…. they should be built in into CI so that peole can create other plugins based on it….. I got into this discussion at the iScaffold thread cause I figured it makes no sense that if I want to use their CRUD app I cant because their queries will be based on a different kind of model than the Datamapper model… if CI was more standardized then I wouldnt have to make the decision between using Datamapper and using iScaffold, which is stupid.
