How do I get the records count of a table with fuel_model?

Sigal

I need to do this:
$this->ads_model->record_count(array('cat_id'=>$catId, 'sub_cat_id'=>$subCatId));
with fuel_model.

Is it possible? If so, how?

No. You'll need to use:
$CI->load->model('ads_model'); $CI>ads_model->record_count(array('cat_id'=>$catId, 'sub_cat_id'=>$subCatId));
fuel_model is a convenience wrapper function around the model.

Thank you, that's what I did, just wanted to check if it's the only way.
