As I progressed till page no. 220 everything went well & it was all right till addComment(). From there till page 223 I made all the changes in one go & now I am stuck because as I click on any issue link on project/view&id=1 page (eg- issue/view&id=1 or issue/create&pid=1) a blank page is being displayed. I have checked for all the typos in those code changes but could not find anything. Can anybody suggest me where should I look for possible mistakes?

Thanks in advance.

do you still have the errors?

Yes I still have the errors. I have posted my Issuecontroller & issue/view.php code. Please do have a look.

[waterloomatt]

Can you please echo some text in the actionView method and tell us the result? I.e. are you even reaching the controller?

In fact I did try to echo text in the actionView() method before posting here in the forum but the result was same - a blank page. So apparently I can not reach to the controller.

[Ash_R]

Found out the first typo on the page - in createComment() method. It was

if(issue->addComment($comment))

instead of

if($issue->addComment($comment))

But still in case of trackstar/index.php?r=issue/create&pid=1 link on project details page warnings are being shown. I am putting the detail stacktrace as follows -

Are you in debug mode?

create_user_id is a DB field? If so, why is it being treated like a validator? Please post your IssueModel.

Thanks.

Forgive me but I am unaware of what this debug mode is. Though your suggestions are proving to be of immense help. All my problem with the page are solved. What I found out was - in the rules() method of issue model class I mistakenly wrote

array('project_id, type_id, status_id, owner_id, requester_id', 'create_user_id', 'update_user_id', 'numerical', 'integerOnly'=>true),

instead of

array('project_id, type_id, status_id, owner_id, requester_id, create_user_id, update_user_id', 'numerical', 'integerOnly'=>true),

If you could little bit explain how you found this out, it would help me better understand this code. Thank you very much.

[waterloomatt]

Debug mode - always work in debug mode. It'll display the errors so you don't have to trudge through the log files.

How I debugged:
Your log file has the error/warning

/var/www/yii/framework/base/CModel.php(285): CValidator::createValidator("create_user_id", Issue, "project_id, type_id, status_id, owner_id, requester_id", array(0 => "update_user_id", 1 => "numerical", "integerOnly" => true))

This tells us that your code (probably located in your model, since models are the usual place to store validation rules) is trying to instantiate a new validation rule called create_user_id.

At the end of the same line, it is also trying to validate integers. This is what gave it away. Usually, a single validation rule (numerical, exists, unique etc) is used per line.

Glad it works now,

Matt

Thank you very much for your support. Glad you helped.
