Creating and Displaying Comments

Hi,

Since I spent 15 mn trying to figure out why the application was returning a :

Property "Comment.verifyCode" is not defined.

when trying to setup the new Comment form

I thought I'd share that I think there must exist in th emodel a variable for each Validation Rule that has been set up in thi same model. That is for validation rules for fields that ar not a db field.

Example :

for this rule to exist without any errors being returned :

array('verifyCode', 'captcha', 'on' => 'insert', 'allowEmpty'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest)

the following line must be added in the Comment model

public $verifyCode;

Maybe it was explaned somawhere but if this is the case I missed the info :)

hope htat helps someone

Thanks

is a rule that

hi,

I had aproblem with the captcha image not showing ...

it turns out that :

the captcha image is generated by the CCaptchaAction class which is an action for the Ccaptcha widget.

everything takes place in the renderImage method if the captcha widget : $url=$this->getController()->createUrl($this->captchaAction); $alt=isset($imageOptions['alt'])?$imageOptions['alt']:''; echo CHtml::image($url,$alt,$this->imageOptions);

hit submit by mistake ... (how do I edit my comments by the way ?)

so :

$url=$this->getController()->createUrl($this->captchaAction);
CHtml::image($url,$alt,$this->imageOptions);

are the important lines. The first one creates an action for the current controller which will look like this (default urls with get parameters) : index.php?r=post/captcha

this url will be used to point to the captcha action CCaptchaAction which will actually render the image with the help of the gd library (see renderImage method of the CCaptchaAction class).

But for all this to work you need to have this url point to the right action and this is done in the actions array of the PostController (see Action section in tne Controller page of the guide):

/**
 * Declares class-based actions.
 */
public function actions()
{
    return array(
        // captcha action renders the CAPTCHA image
        // this is used by the contact page
        'captcha'=>array(
            'class'=>'CCaptchaAction',
            'backColor'=>0xF5F5F5,
        ),
    );
}

hope this helps someone who like me was trying to follow the tutorial without looking at the completed demo code.

This part of the tutorial is really bad, not enough explanation about the Captcha :(

After completing the tutorial step http://www.yiiframew.../comment.create I get a white screen of death when I try to submit a comment to a post.

Here is an example: http://taskhead.com/...=post/show&id=4

How do I debug it?

sorry, here is the example:

http://taskhead.com/blog/index.php?r=post/show&id=4

Ah I found the following php error in the log:

PHP Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'STATUS_PENDIN G' in .../blog/protected/controllers/PostContr oller.php on line 70
