Re: dynamic db connection | $useDbConfig

[carSign]

This is exactly what I want - but I can't seem to get this to work.

I have controller with the following in the index action

if ($data_source)
{
$did_this_work = $this->Model->data_source_changer($data_source);
}

In the model

function data_source_changer($dbconfig)
{
$success = $this->setDataSource($dbconfig);
return $success;
}

I get no errors but the $did_this_work variable is empty after it runs
and I am getting data from the wrong database (did not change data
sources)
What am I doing wrong here?

dynamic db connection | $useDbConfig

[carSign]

Is there a way to change the config variables inside my model on the
fly.

For example.  If a user visits:

http://www.example.com/videos/rent/toy_story

the page will be returned as normal.  But if a user visits,

http://www.example.com/videos_qa/rent/toy_story or something like it

I want to use the same model, view, and controller but change the
value of $useDbConfig in the model to use a QA database?
Is there a good way to do this.  I want to have both available.  The
only difference in the page that will be seen by the user will be if
the data in the database is different.
