The public function testGetTypes should be in a class. Before: public function testGetTypes() { $options = Issue::model()->typeOptions; $this->assertTrue(is_array($options)); } Solution: class IssueTest extends CDbTestCase { public function testGetTypes() { $options = Issue::model()->typeOptions; $this->assertTrue(is_array($options)); } } "

"Your application has been created successfully under /Webroot/demo/" should still be in Packt console command code format, as it is still part of the output from running the shell command.

Under the Conventions section, it is describing how code words in the text are shown and it uses the sentence: "You can type in help to see a list of commands available to you within his shell" It should be "...this shell" NOT "...his shell" (i.e. 'his' should be 'this')

The very beginning sentence on this page has several issues. The sentence as it is printed is impossible to understand. The entire sentence should read: "As these links originate from the issue details page, we can take advantage of the associated project, and alter the links to pass in the specific project id. We can then use that project id as the criteria to limit the Issues returned by the query in both the IssueController::actionIndex, and IssueController::actionAdmin() methods."

there is a word that is printed as "conssue", it should be "context": "...implemented a filter to enforce a valid project context"

When trying to execute the SQL to create the relationships (on page 97), MySQL gives an error #1005: #1005 - Can't create table 'trackstar_dev.#sql-1a4_9d' (errno: 121) (<a href="server_engines.php?engine=InnoDB&page=Status&token=fdfsdghrw222323hndgsf">Details...</a>)
The solution is to rename the fields in the join table (tbl_project_user_assignment) to something like proj_id and req_id and update the relationship commands accordingly.

The sentence:

This line is using the CActiveForm::labelEx() method to render an HTML label for a the Issue model attribute, type_id.

Should read:

Page 163 says UserIdentity::authenticate() is called and page 164 a new UserIdentity() object is created within UserIdentity::authenticate() method.
The "UserIdentity" class on page 163 should be named another name. The actual UserIdentity class should be the one defined on page 161.

Errata type: code | Page number: 129

The line in the code that says:

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

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

The loadModel method needs to be passed the project id.

This is the first edition of the book.

In this case, this is not an error. The code in the book IS correct for the OLDER version of Yii used in the book 1.1.2. For later versions of Yii, the code would need to be changed per the readers remarks.

Adding $this->layout = 'main' to init() method doesn't work. Please reference this page:

http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php/topic/12763-chapter-12-admin-module-automatically-uses-the-site-theme/

It solves this problem by moving layout setting to beforeControllerAction method and then it works.
