Hi!

Just a question : can I use saveWithRelated for a MANY_MANY relation with data. For instance :

Person(int id)-Seen(int id_person,int id_movie,date date,bool liked)-Movie(int id)

Can I use saveWithRelated to save one person with all the movies he has seen and the relation data (date and liked wich cannot be null)?

If not, how to do it nicely?

Cheers!

For "Property "CPhpMessageSource.extensionBasePaths" is not defined.", there is no property "extensionBasePaths", based on yii-1.1.13.e9e4a0, framework/i18n/CPhpMessageSource.php:

/**
     * @var array the message paths for extensions that do not have a base class to use as category prefix.
     * The format of the array should be:
     * <pre>
     * array(
     *     'ExtensionName' => 'ext.ExtensionName.messages',
     * )
     * </pre>
     * Where the key is the name of the extension and the value is the alias to the path
     * of the "messages" subdirectory of the extension.
     * When using Yii::t() to translate an extension message, the category name should be
     * set as 'ExtensionName.categoryName'.
     * Defaults to an empty array, meaning no extensions registered.
     * @since 1.1.13
     */
    public $extensionPaths=array();

so the config should actually be

'messages' => array (
      // Pending on core: http://code.google.com/p/yii/issues/detail?id=2624
      'extensionPaths' => array(
        'giix' => 'ext.giix.messages', // giix messages directory.
      ),
    ),

This might have solved @evan108108's issue. Hopefully it can help someone else.

Thanks for your codes.

like I've said many people don't know how to used giix properly :)

I've still seen a lot of people don't know how to override and inherit and it's great if you put it on your extension.

@bryglen, I never change the BaseClass.

I generate constantly new BaseClasses and I almost never lose the settings of the child classes. Of course I always do a basic review. To this I do a merge (CMap::mergeArray()) of the corresponding function of the parent class to the child class.

See this example, I have an UserBase.php (intact ) and my User.php:

class User extends UserBase{
 
    public static function model($className = __CLASS__)
    {
        return parent::model($className);
    }
 
    public function relations()
    {
        return CMap::mergeArray(parent::relations(),
            array(
                'organizations' => array(self::MANY_MANY, 'Organization','user_organization(user_id, organization_id)'),
            )
        );
    }
}

In case of conflict you can remove an entry from the BaseModel without editing it using the function array_diff():

public function rules()
    {
        return CMap::mergeArray(array_diff(
               parent::rules(),
               array(
                   array('name, password, password_strategy, email, create_time', 'required'),
               )
            ),
            array(
                array('name, password, email', 'required', 'message' => Yii::t('validation', 'Please insert your {attribute}.')),
                array('password_strategy, create_time', 'message' => Yii::t('validation', '{attribute} are null!')),
            )
        );
    }

This code remove the rule from parent rules function:

array('name, password, password_strategy, email, create_time', 'required')

That way I avoid the conflict of two messages appear for the same validation error.

Hope this help

Can you add a tutorial how people will override and inherit without modifying the BaseClass

I've still seen a lot of people don't know how to override and inherit and it's great if you put it on your extension.

by model generation.

Source File

C:\wamp\www\pr3\protected\extensions\giix-core\giixModel\GiixModelCode.php(67)

00067: $this->relations = $this->generateRelations();

what have I done wrong...?

thanks!

Agreed, @ktwbc. This feature will be present in a future release of giix. Thanks for the suggestion!

The Giix extension is nice, but one thing that would help would be a quick way to select only the changed Base classes. When I modify my tables, and have to regenerate with Giix, it's showing all the child classes in red (of course because that's where my model logic is), but I have to hunt for the /Base versions throughout the list. You need a "Select All (Changed) Base" button.

hi, there's a js error "TypeError: g.nodeName is undefined" dropped by the CJuiAutoComplete widget in giixModel/views/index.php, preventing the suggestion of the model class name. Latest Yii 1.1.12 is used.

I made a quick fix, replacing the row
$(this).val($(ui.item).val());
to
$(this).val(ui.item.value);

Great extension btw!

Thanks you! This is an excellent extension.

First of all, this is an awesome extension. It saved me a lot of time (and head scratching). Thumbs up!

"http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47099316/yii/bootstrap.rar"

@olivier.marian: relations are automatically built using InnoDB / your DB's specified relationships. So if you set up the relationships in the database, things will work fine. Also, please note we're trying to keep support questions on the forum thread as much as possible. Thanks!

Hello, first thank you very much for this extension that helps start with iii and have a nice app quite fast.

EDITED: I have a question though, and moved it to the forum here

Thank you again for your work, and your help. best regards. Olivier

Please open a new issue and send as much information as possible so I can work on the bug. Thanks!

Yeah I am using version 1.9.1 downloaded from this page

Are you using the trunk version? If so, please download giix from this page and install again.

I continually get this error:

Property "CPhpMessageSource.extensionBasePaths" is not defined.

Model generation works fine. This is a CRUD issue and it happens on preview.

Any help solving this would be great.

YEAH! perfect! at last :-) imho all yii plugins should be moved to github :-)
