laravel BelongsTo relationship with different databases not working

Question

I\'ve seen in several places to \"stay away\" from this, but alas - this is how my DB is built:

class Album extends Eloquent {

   // default connection

            


        

Answer 1

Add the connection variable with the default connection on the genre model:

protected $connection = 'mysql';

I had some problems with the relationships by not adding this.
