I have a widget that displays user information in components/views. It used to work, but I am upgrading my php and it now throws the error "Non-static method should not be called statically."
<div id="schedule-div" class="holder">
<!-- Table -->
<?php
if(!empty($this->registrations))
{
// Schedule Table
echo "<div id='user-schedule' class='agenda-table'>";
echo CController::renderPartial(
'_agendaTable',
array(
'agendaRegistrations'=>$this->agendaRegistrations,
'activityId'=>$this->activityId,
)
);
echo "</div>"; // END "user-schedule"
}
else echo "<p>You have not registered for any activities</p>";
?>
</div>
I have tried modifying the code as follows:
...
$connection = new CController(Yii::app()->controller->id);
echo $connection->renderPartial(...
...
But then I get an error saying that ‘CController cannot find the requested view “_agendaTable”.’
My understanding of when and why to use static v. non-static functions is vague. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
If you look at the documentation for CController, you will find that CController::renderPartial is not a static method, so that error makes sense.
Now for you modified code, there’s nothing wrong with it but normally, it would search for a view file under the views folder for the controller id passed to CController, which in this case your controller view folder might not have a file called _agendaTable.
If your widget extends from CWidget, I think it has its own render function which would search for view files under "widget/views/NameOfViewFile.php".
<div id="schedule-div" class="holder">
<!-- Table -->
<?php
if(!empty($this->registrations))
{
// Schedule Table
echo "<div id='user-schedule' class='agenda-table'>";
$this->render(
'agendaTable',
array(
'agendaRegistrations'=>$this->agendaRegistrations,
'activityId'=>$this->activityId,
)
);
echo "</div>"; // END "user-schedule"
}
else echo "<p>You have not registered for any activities</p>";
?>
</div>
Please show your model, may be the above mentioned error was in your model. <img src='http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='::)' />
I was able to call renderPartial without error with one line of code instead of two using Yii::app()->controller->renderPartial().
And I had to add the path to _agendaTable. It is in the same directory with the original file, but it needed the additional path information to find the file.
Thank you everyone for your help. Yii forum to the rescue!
