Refer to the code in the actionUpdate of a relation scenario for tables:
public function actionUpdate($id)
{
$model=$this->loadModel($id);
// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed
// $this->performAjaxValidation($model);
if(isset($_POST['User']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['User'];
if($model->save())
{
$model->person->attributes=$_POST['Person'];
$model->person->save();
$this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));
}
}
$this->render('update',array('model'=>$model,
));
}
The error proved to be hell of a thing but i realized it arose as a result of table persorn(profile for user) not having a PRIMARY KEY. The tables User and Person have a relation through a FOREIGN KEY. For one to UPDATE the user the tables must be both having a primary key.
