I got stuck on Page 131 of the book. when i go to this URL,

http://yii/trackstar/index.php?r=project/view&id=2

I'm getting an error, as described at the screen shot at the bottom. but I did followed the instructions
the exact code snippets to move on., what should I do to fix this and move forward ?

[Y!!]

I guess somwhere in your code you do

$model = $this->loadModel();

Try this instead:

$model = $this->loadModel($_GET['id']);

it didn't helped I checked the errata page of the book from packtpub, there's none that has something to do that is related in my situation.
here's the exact code that I got I followed on the book until I got stuck

In actionView() method do:

                $this->render('view', array(
                         'model' => $this->loadModel($id),
                        'issueDataProvider' => $issueDataProvider,
                ));

yes, I did this also $this->loadModel($_GET['id']) , based from your first reply, but
still am getting the same error, I tried
I really don't know what's wrong with it, the error just says "missing argument for ProjectController::loadModel()" at line 59 where line 59 is this part of the actionView()

'params'=> array(':projectId'=>$this->loadModel()->id),

I tried
'params' => array(':projectId' => $this->loadModel($_GET['id'])),
OR
'params' => array(':projectId' => $this->loadModel($_GET['id']->id,

but when i tried this
'params' => array(':projectId' => $this->loadModel($_GET[$id]),

and refreshed the same url, the page says


what's wrong with it ?

[sasori]

solved the problem now

	public function actionView($id)
	{
//		$this->render('view',array(
//			'model'=>$this->loadModel($id),
//		));
		$issueDataProvider = new CActiveDataProvider('Issue', array(
				'criteria' => array(
					'condition' => 'project_id=:projectId',
					'params'=> array(':projectId'=>$this->loadModel($id)->id),
				),
				'pagination'=>array(
					'pageSize' => 1,
				),
			));
			
	
		$this->render('view', array(
			 'model' => $this->loadModel($id),
			'issueDataProvider' => $issueDataProvider,
		));
	}

you're right...and i'll report this to the errata for the book

[Bob Monteverde]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is due to Gii auto generating different code between 1.1.2 (I think thats what the book is based on) and likely the stable release 1.1.4 (or if you are anal like me, you are using the most recent dev snapshot courtesy of dmtrs's unofficial git repo).

If you wanted to follow the book 100% step by step, using 1.1.2 for now might be a decent idea, but I think it's better to have small mistakes for you to figure out and become more involved in the actual development process.

Anyway, good luck, I'm about where you are, starting chapter 7.

[pietrop]

Just in case you are wondering, what actually did the trick:

it's the line

'params'=>array(':projectId'=>$this->loadModel($id)->id),

In the book there is no $id in loadModel().

Don't forget to call the loadModel method with the required parameter 'id'.
This can be found in the stack trace of the debug output, when the error occurs.

Cheers,
Peter

[maha]

Thanks Friends i got same problem, now sloved ...thanks you once again friends....

[deanf7]

Thanks for posting the fix. I hit the problem using 1.1.7. I figured there might have been a framework change, but had no real idea how to fix it The problem still doesn't seem to be in the errata, though they probably don't consider it a problem if it works with the version used in the book.

Thanks again.

[mjmitche]

I got the same error as in the original post. However, when I tried the fix that the original poster used, I got more errors

Here's the code that the OP used to solve the problem

public function actionView($id)
	{
		$issueDataProvider=new CActiveDataProvider('Issue', array(
			'criteria'=>array(
		 		'condition'=>'project_id=:projectId',
		 		'params'=>array(':projectId'=>$this->loadModel($id)->id),
		 	),
		 	'pagination'=>array(
		 		'pageSize'=>1,
		 	),
		 ));
		
		$this->render('view',array(
			'model'=>$this->loadModel($id),
			'issueDataProvider'=>$issueDataProvider,
		));

This is the error message I got when I tried the solution

]CException

Issue does not have a method named "getTypeText".

/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/framework/base/CComponent.php(266)

254     public function __call($name,$parameters)

258             foreach($this->_m as $object)
259             {
260                 if($object->getEnabled() && method_exists($object,$name))
261                     return call_user_func_array(array($object,$name),$parameters);
262             }
263         }
264         if(class_exists('Closure', false) && $this->canGetProperty($name) && $this->$name instanceof Closure)
265             return call_user_func_array($this->$name, $parameters);
266         throw new CException(Yii::t('yii','{class} does not have a method named "{name}".',
267             array('{class}'=>get_class($this), '{name}'=>$name)));
268     }

problem fixed. The solution of OP worked for me, but I had problem in other file.

[LeoCS]

Hi, I'm reading the book right now.

Instead of loading the model using the ID that is already known, to then get this same ID, using this code:

'params'=>array(':projectId'=>$this->loadModel($id)->id),

I passed the ID directly using this code:

'params'=>array(':projectId'=>$id,

...There is something bad with my code?

[samba]

Thanks for the solution. It worked like a charm.

[hnam]

If you still having issue with your display after using this solution code due to some parse error like

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in C:\xampp\htdocs\trackstar\protected\views\issue\_view.php on line 16

Plese dont blindly copy and paste from book pdf file there is a mistake of ">" in _view.php

In book this is
<b><?php echo CHtml::encode($data->getAttributeLabel('status_id')); ?:</b>
<?php echo CHtml::encode($data->status_id); ?>

alter this with following:-

<b><?php echo CHtml::encode($data->getAttributeLabel('status_id')); ?>:</b>
<?php echo CHtml::encode($data->status_id); ?>

[DenizB]

Thank you so much. Solution OP worked for me too.
