How to properly inherit models in Yii?

Question

Yii

There are 2 tables - t_product and t_service , they have the same fields: name, price, etc. I created models and generated CRUD. I did this, moved the repetitive code to the Craft class. And I got 2 neat classes:
class Craft extends CActiveRecord{ ....

class Service extends Craft
{
    public $imagePath = 'images/service';
  public function tableName()
  {
    return 't_service';
  }
}

class Product extends Craft
{
    public $imagePath = 'images/product';
  public function tableName()
  {
    return 't_product';
  }
}

But I get this error: The table "Craft" mentioned in the active record of the class "Craft" was not found in the database. I understand that it does not exist, but do not create a broken table for the sake of inheriting identical entities. And Inherit Product from Service is also somehow wrong, tell me experts, how to be?

Answer 1

class Service extends Craft
{
  public $imagePath = 'images/service';

    public static function model($className = __CLASS__) 
    {
        return parent::model($className);
    }

  public function tableName()
  {
    return 't_service';
  }
}
