Yii / Gii Model Code generation add method to generator

Question

I have had a look around the web and can't find a good explanation.

Using Gii I generate models. I was wondering how I can get the generator to also add a custom method to all of my models I generate? I want to add a method where I pass it the result of a "->queryAll()" and it maps it to itself for me.

Thanks in advance

You should read this :

Gii can be extended in two ways: customizing the code templates of the existing code generators, and writing new code generators.

But a proper way for adding a custom method to all your models is to extends CActiveRecord, and modify Gii template accordingly.
