Record Models: extend Base_module_record vs extend Data_record

lhagemann

I note from the Fuel Example for Articles & Categories that some record Models extend Data_record and others extend Base_model_record.

What determines when to extend one or the other?

The Base_model_record just extends the Data_record class and adds a few extra methods used for parsing field information (translating from Dwoo templating syntax). When in doubt, just use the Base_model_record.
