How can i avoid xPDO constructor in every snippet?

If i make my xPDO model, i use this constructor in the top of every snnipet i work with my model.



Any way i can avoid it? Put constructor code ones somewhere and use it in every snippet.
Thx.

You could use xPDO service layer http://rtfm.modx.com/display/xPDO20/As+Service+Layer and call your data on class __construct()

Apparently you are using MODX so you can call the service layer with plugin on WebPageInit or any plausible event you perfect.. Then it should be available on $modx->youService and change the $xpdo->addService to $modx->addService

This is just an idea, haven't tried it for the plugin idea

I hope this is only used for connecting to an external database by very infrequent requests. If not, you might consider reducing overhead by moving the tables into the same database container as MODX; having two database connections is never going to be an efficient approach FWIW.

I have my custom table which is located in the same database.
You are right, i comment line codes where's i have this constructor and everything works fine, for mostly of time, if i use now direct sql with xPDOCriteria.
But i think if i want play with xPDO stuff, i should make something like

and this need $xpdo constructor for work right?

The modX class extends xPDO, i.e. it is xPDO.
