Question

I have a db table called “packs” (pack_id, pack_name, pack_description, pack_image)

My packs.php model:

<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');

    class Model_Packs extends ORM {

    }

My packs.php controller:

<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');

class Controller_Packs extends Controller {

    public function action_index($pack_name = null)
    {
        $view = new View('packs/index');                        
        $this->response->body($view); 
    }   

    public function action_pack()
    {
        $pack_name = $this->request->param('id'); //get the packname from uri

        $pack = ORM::factory('packs')->where('pack_name', $pack_name)->find();
        print_r($pack);die;

        $view = new View('packs/index'); 

        $this->response->body($view); 
    }   
} // End of file

Calling http://www.mysite.com/packs/pack/aPackName , Kohana throws this error:

Database_Exception [ 1146 ]: Table ‘packs_db.packses’ doesn’t exist [ SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM ‘packses’ ]

I checked my database.php conf file, everything’s ok.
Why da hell is kohana adding “es” at the end of the table name?? I am completely puzzled…

Answer 1

It seems kohana is trying to be “smart” and guess what’s the table name based on class name.
if you rename your model to Model_Pack It should do the trick. Other solution is to give your model table name.
