hello,
i have a situation that i could not find a solution.

i have two models User & Profile

they have a relation in User model like this:

'profile' => array(self::HAS_ONE, 'Profile', 'id'),

what im trying to do is:
after login -if user profile is empty- im redirecting users to a setup page which has both attribs from User & Profile models.

after login im running this action:

  public function actionMain()
        {   
                $user = User::model()->with('profile')->findByPk(Yii::app()->user->id);
                if ($user->profile)
                        $this->render('main', array('user'=>$user));
                else
                        $this->render('profile', array('user'=>$user, 'update'=>false));

        }

but since this is being called from User controller im having errors in the view for Profile model`s attribs.
how can i update both models in a single view?

ok i got it. how i could not..

i changed action like this:

        public function actionMain()
        {       
                $user = User::model()->with('profile')->findByPk(Yii::app()->user->id);
                if ($user->profile)
                        $this->render('main', array('user'=>$user));
                else {
                        $prof = new Profile;
                        $this->render('profile', array('user'=>$user, 'prof'=>$prof, 'update'=>false));
                }
        }

then everything is ok for now

The relationship between models and controllers does not have to be 1-1.

If your user does not have a profile at the time of or you have a user, but no profile, then define a new one and attach it to the user before viewing.

$user = User::model()->findByPk(123);
empty($user->profile) and $user->profile = new Profile();

if($_POST['User']) {
  if($user->validate()) {
    if($user->save()) {
      $user->profile->user_id = $user->id;
      if($user->profile->validate()) {
        $user->profile->save();
      }
      ...
    }
  }
}

$this->render('user', compact('user'));

This way a user is presented with a blank form for editing if he no profile, and a filled one if his profile exists. Am I answering your question? ...
