Model with custom table doesn't save, in Laravel 3

Question

I have an eloquent model, that is using a custom table, coming from the user table.

Like so...

class Appointment extends Eloquent
{   
   public static $table = null;
   public function __construct()
   {
      parent::__construct();

       // Here I load the custom table, from the user table
      // Pull the prefix of the table, and append
      // This works perfectly fine for viewing the data
      static::$table = Auth::user()->tenantTable()."_appointments";
   }

   public static $connection = 'tenant-data';
   public static $timestamps = true;

I can pull, and view the data perfectly fine with this setup. So every user, has their own appointment table.

However, if I change anything and then use eloquent save() method. I get a recursive call, that never ends.

What do I need to change in laravels save() method to get this to work?

And do I have to change it in the core?? Or can I override the save() method in the current model? And if so, how?

@ceejayoz Im aware.... but Im not about to port the whole site over just yet. Just adding a few multi-tenant additions. Dont have the time or resources for it. — Kylie, Apr 23 '15 at 03:49
Good question. I wonder how many people there are who still remember Laravel 3 :) — Margus Pala, Apr 23 '15 at 05:51

I'm almost just guessing but did you try to change the order of your constructor commands? First set the table dynamically and then call parent constructor?

I am not sure what are you trying to achieve but, yes you can override parent ( eloquent's on your case ) save method.

class Appointment extends Eloquent{  
   public function save(){
      //Do your own save stuff 
      ....
      // call Eloquent's save function to finish
      parent::save();
   }
}
