Hi all,
I am working my way through this book in an effort to learn Yii for use on a personal website idea. So far, there have been a few typos and erroneous code examples, but it’s not been bad overall. I understand that writing a book like this is a huge effort so I do appreciate it.
My issue is with the code example within "Adding filter logic" on page 98. I have tried copy+pasting this example, manually typed, and I cannot figure why this is breaking my application. When I go to the issue controller page (index.php?r=issue) I just get a white screen. My IssueController.php is included below. I do appreciate any tips you can give me, or even if you can tell me how I can debug it myself.
<?php
class IssueController extends Controller
{

* @var string the default layout for the views. Defaults to '//layouts/column2', meaning
* using two-column layout. See 'protected/views/layouts/column2.php'.
