How To Filter Clistview When Model Overrides Cactiverecord?

I’m using Yii 1.1.13. I had the need to connect to different databases so I have certain models which extend a class that overrides the CActiveRecord

For example, my news model:




class Noticias extends DBNoticiasActiveRecord

{

//override default db conn

public function getDbConnection()

{

    return self::getBDNoticiasDbConnection();

}


/**

 * Returns the static model of the specified AR class.

 * @param string $className active record class name.

 * @return Noticias the static model class

 */

public static function model($className=__CLASS__)

{

    return parent::model($className);

}


/**

 * @return string the associated database table name

 */

public function tableName()

{

    return 'TblNoticias';

}

...



And my DBNoticiasActiveRecord class is:




/**

* Custom wrapper class to CActiveRecord.

* getBDNoticiasDbConnection() override Controller. All News controller classes for this     application should extend from this class.

*/

class DBNoticiasActiveRecord extends CActiveRecord {


private static $dbnoticias = null;


protected static function getBDNoticiasDbConnection()

{

    if (self::$dbnoticias !== null)

        return self::$dbnoticias;

    else

    {

        self::$dbnoticias = Yii::app()->dbnoticias;

        if (self::$dbnoticias instanceof CDbConnection)

        {

            self::$dbnoticias->setActive(true);

            return self::$dbnoticias;

        }

        else

            throw new CDbException(Yii::t('yii','Active Record requires a "db" CDbConnection application component.'));

    }

}

}



What I’m trying to do is apply an ajax filter form before the CListView in my view. I’ve got it working in other Yii apps where there is only 1 database connection. But with this override, the listview doesn’t get filtered.

Is there something elese I should be doing? I reaaly need this to work and it seemed so simple to implement.

Thanks,
