Hey have tried a few different combos, so long as I have ‘tablePrefix’ set and it matches the table/s in questions prefix my model php files DO NOT include the prefix.
In fact here is happens for me:
'tablePrefix' => 'abc_'
and say i have a table called
abc_hello_John
then my php model file is called
HelloJohn.php
so something else could be at play with how you gii is working. do you have any other ‘tweaks’ or configurations set that could override the default gii behaviour?
