im try to keep all update history

so in my controller i rote:


public function actionUpdate($id)

	{

		$model=$this->loadModel($id);

                


		// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed

		// $this->performAjaxValidation($model);


		if(isset($_POST['Activity']))

		{

                    $oldModel=new Activity;

                    $oldModel->attributes=$model->attributes;

			$model->attributes=$_POST['Activity'];?>

                         <?php

        $maxActivNumber = Yii::app()->db->createCommand()

        ->select('max(activity_code) as max')

        ->from('tbl_activity')

        ->queryScalar();

        $model->activity_code = $maxActivNumber + 1;

        $oldModel->save();

        ?>

                        

			<?php if($model->save()) 

                            {....

it save the new parmeters whith the new activity_code

but don’t save $oldModel at all

why?

I suspect that $oldModel isn’t passing validation. Perhaps you have an attribute that is required but that you haven’t provided.

For debugging purposes, see what happens when you do this:




if (!$oldModel->save())

{

    var_dump($oldModel->errors);

    die;

}

well u right!

it not pass validation of 2 rules but how it can be? and what i can do? can i save it whithout check validation?

4

Yes, pass false as the first parameter of the save() method.

5

like :


$oldModel->save(false);

????

6

Yup.

7

ok try it. dont give errore but not save either :(

8

What validation errors were you getting when you used var_dump?
