alphanumeric id

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hello Yii community!

this is my 2nd Yii programming day. ::) I found out that alphanumeric id’s like GUIDs are not supported!? Id’s must be an integer. The admin action is showed, but the view?id=4c5545f2c6c674.70177605 page not. Error 404.

Can I configure alphanumeric Id’s - or am I forced to use auto_increment integers?

I think that the problem cam be this point, or maybe simply this id doesn/t exists

3

Have you double checked your URL?

4

the URL is okay

the data exists

id’s without letters work

and I found something like "(int)$id" in generated code

5

So you found your problem… just remove that…

6

Modifying the Yii framework ? ? ?

The Yii framwork is what lies in the directoty framework.

The autogenerated code is just a sample, feel free to modify anithing you find here. The basic generated code is thought for work with numeric ids, if you are implementing something different, modify your pages accordigly

8

Make sure that within your rules you have the id not set to ‘integer’

I have the same issue and no rules() setted at all, neither autogenerated code with (int) binding. So, or it is something I did not, or it’s some imposition of Yii framework I need to overrule. I just didn’t find any doc on this.

I opened a bug report on this one.

hi Junior

I do not use Yii anymore. It is too much effort to change my existing (not finished) application to Yii. Yii is "corsetting" me. BUT I was inspired by Yii. I would use Yii for a new (non business web) app.

So, how does your rules look like?

If it looks like this standard generated rules:


            	'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',

            	'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',

Then you’d be out of luck.

the id part shouldn’t be ‘d+’ then, but ‘w+’.

Try that.

Just a small change.

The url rules are sort of type safe. :)

If a do this, gii stops work.

But this did the trick:




	'rules'=>array(

		'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',

		'<controller:\w+>/delete/<id:\w+>'=>'<controller>/delete',

		'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',

		'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',

	),

I’m not proud of it.

But, if you use Gii first, then change the overall id rule to w instead of d - wouldn’t that work?

I suspect Gii is hardcoded to handle ids of type number.
