Extending Cmodel?

Hi, is it possible to extend CModel?

PHPStorm only allows me to implement it, but not extend.

In the docs it’s an abstract class, but so is CActiveRecord and I am able to extend from it.

I will use DB but not in ActiveRecord way, I need to access settings, which would be like this:

setting_name setting_value

post_per_page 2

admin_email email@e.com

What would you recommend?

Thanks!

I think activerecord is the only way to do it… otherwise if you want to configure your settings globally you can insert it in the config file under params array
