[size="4"]NOTE: All of the examples provided in the book were completed with Yii version 1.1.2. Many readers are using the latest stable version of Yii (currently 1.1.5) to following along with the examples in the book. There are some subtle API/method signature differences (esp in some of the Gii auto-generated code) between these two versions. If you are using any version other than 1.1.2 to following along, you may have to make some adjustments to the examples used in the book.[/size]
[list=1][*][size="4"]Typo/Printing: Preface, Page 1 -
The first section title reads: "What this book cover" it should read: "What this book covers" or "What is covered in this book"[/size][*][size="4"]Typo/Printing: Preface, Page 3 -
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” (i.e. ‘his’ should be ‘this’)[/size][*][size=“4”]Style Formatting: Page 20 -
The sentence:
"Your application has been created successfully under /Webroot/demo/"
should still be in code format style, as it is still part of the output from running the shell command.[/size][*][size="4"]Code Fragment: Page 105 -
The code does not explicitly include the class in which the method should reside. The function is fine, but it could be misleading. The public function
testGetTypes()
needs to reside in a class. The full code is
class IssueTest extends CDbTestCase
{
public function testGetTypes()
{
$options = Issue::model()->typeOptions; $this->assertTrue(is_array($options));
}
}

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: [extract]"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."[/extract][/size][*][size="4"]Type/Printing: Page 142 -
There is a word 1/2 way down the page that is printed as "conssue", it should be "context": "…implemented a filter to enforce a valid project context"[/size][*][size="4"]Dated Code Snippet: Page 163 -
The auto-generated code displayed for the
UserIdentity::authenticate()
method is from a version of the yiic webapp command that is prior to 1.1.2. It should be:
public function authenticate()
{
$users=array(
// username => password
'demo'=>'demo',
'admin'=>'admin',
);
if(!isset($users[$this->username]))
$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;
else if($users[$this->username]!==$this->password)
$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;
else
$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;
return !$this->errorCode;
}

[/size][*][size="4"]Informational Note: Page 198 -
You might need to define the foreign key relationship on tbl_project_user_role.project_id to automatically handle deletes of rows in the project table. Otherwise, you might get a constraint violation error when the unit test ProjectTest::testDelete() is run.
in MySQL, something like [sql]ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE[/sql]
NOTE: The book is attempting to stay database independent, and the low level DDL statements for tables are intended to be general (i.e. not MySQL specific). However, the code available for download does have all of the MySQL specific statements used.[/size][*][size="3"][size="4"]Code Typo: Page 249 -
In url manager configuration, site/commentFeed is printed, but it should be just comment/feed:
