change function name and then does not have a method named **

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

This is bizare

I want a drop down in my form populated from a table

The model is called WebPage.php

in the model I create two functions they are identical except for name


	public function something() 

	{

	$a = $this->findAll();

		return $a;

    }

	public function somethingelse() 

	{

	$a = $this->findAll();

		return $a;

    }

In the form partial view the following code works


<?php

echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,'KeyphrasePagePage',CHtml::listData(WebPage::model()->something(),'WebPageID','WebPageName'));

 ?>

The following code does not work ???


<?php

echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,'KeyphrasePagePage',CHtml::listData(WebPage::model()->somethingelse(),'WebPageID','WebPageName'));

 ?>

It gives the following error

It’s like something is not being re-initialized or something is cached, I am confused!!

I cleared the browser cache. Closed the browser tab, logged out of the session, weird!

Specs:Yii version 1.1a

Server:apache2

OS:linux

Browser:firefox

Thanks for any help you can give me

Try deleting the files under the protected/runtime directory

It has happened too me a couple of times after changing some function names

Thanks, I tried what you suggested, but the same result.

I’ll keep digging.

Maybe you should try




<?php

public static function somethingelse() {

  $a = WebPage::findAll();

  return $a;

}

?>







<?php

echo CHtml::activeDropDownList($model,'KeyphrasePagePage',CHtml::listData(WebPage::somethingelse(),'WebPageID','WebPageName'));

 ?>

A correction:

it should be




<?php

public static function somethingelse() {

  $a = WebPage::model()->findAll();

  return $a;

}

?>

As usual I feel like a complete idiot now that I know what the problem was. I should probably be keeping it simpler while I am learning Yii but I set up my installation according to this cookbook article Organize directories for applications with front-end and back-end. Anyway to make a long story short, I had two model directories /protected/models/ and /protected/backend/models/ I had two WebPage.php files one in each models directory. I seems Yii was reading the /protected/models/ version while I was changing the /protected/backend/models/ version.

Not too smart :( I did however learn a lot through my investigations, thanks for your help spyros.
