Hie, I’m a first timer to Yii and was trying to implement the private messaging extension on my demo project.When it comes to the compose new message view, on the receiver input field I get an “Receiver cannot be blank” error even after it identifies a user from the database using the auto suggest jquery plugin.
Any help ideas please?
I think its not posting the value. check the POST !
The post code is in the controller below. I have also attached the view.
message/messageController
<?php
class ComposeController extends Controller
{
public $defaultAction = 'compose';
public function actionCompose($id = null) {
$message = new Message();
if (Yii::app()->request->getPost('Message')) {
[b]$receiverName = Yii::app()->request->getPost('receiver');[/b]
$message->attributes = Yii::app()->request->getPost('Message');
$message->sender_id = Yii::app()->user->getId();
if ($message->save()) {
Yii::app()->user->setFlash('messageModule', MessageModule::t('Message has been sent'));
$this->redirect($this->createUrl('inbox/'));
}
else if ($message->hasErrors('receiver_id')) {
$message->receiver_id = null;
$receiverName = '';
}
} else {
if ($id) {
$receiver = call_user_func(array(call_user_func(array(Yii::app()->getModule('message')->userModel, 'model')), 'findByPk'), $id);
if ($receiver) {
$receiverName = call_user_func(array($receiver, Yii::app()->getModule('message')->getNameMethod));
$message->receiver_id = $receiver->id;
}
}
}
$this->render(Yii::app()->getModule('message')->viewPath . '/compose', array('model' => $message, 'receiverName' => isset($receiverName) ? $receiverName : null));
}
}
compose view
<?php $this->pageTitle = Yii::app()->name . ’ - ’ . MessageModule::t(“Compose Message”); ?>
<?php
$this->breadcrumbs = array(
MessageModule::t("Messages"),
MessageModule::t("Compose"),

<?php $this->renderPartial(Yii::app()->getModule(‘message’)->viewPath . ‘/_navigation’); ?>
