Trying To Get Property Of Non-Object Error

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

hi all

I have a yii site which is part of a larger set of sites I am transferring to a new webhost for a client. Unfortunately I am very ignorant of yii :blink:

As a first step I have copied the site to my laptop. Generally it seems to be working fine but when I’m in a list / table page which displays data from the db, it throws an error when I click on Next for the following page. Error details are below. I have checked and this error does not happen on the live site. Presumably something different about the environment on my laptop but any idea where I might start to look?

Many thanks for any help :)

What do you have in this file:

[color=#222222][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]/var/www/cfh/protected/views/[/size][/font][/color][color=#222222][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]survey/index.php(23) ?[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#222222][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]

[/size][/font][/color]

[font=“arial, sans-serif”][color="#222222"][size=3]Looks like you have a call to a variable that doesn’t contain an expected object in one of CGridView.[/size][/color][/font]

[font=“arial, sans-serif”][color="#222222"][size=3]Most probably, you’ll just need to add a check an object is set.[/size][/color][/font]

[font="arial, sans-serif"][color="#222222"][size=3]

[/size][/color][/font]

[font="arial, sans-serif"][color="#222222"][size=3]For example, this often happens when you call an empty relation model(s), e.g.[/size][/color][/font]

[font="arial, sans-serif"][color="#222222"][size=3]


$myModel->relationModel->relationData;

[/size][/color][/font]

[font="arial, sans-serif"][color="#222222"][size=3]

[/size][/color][/font]

[font="arial, sans-serif"][color="#222222"][size=3]And one question - do you have full production db data at your local installation?[/size][/color][/font]

hi Yugene, many thanks for your reply. The local version is using production data, and /var/www/cfh/protected/views/survey/index.php has this:


<?php

$this->menu=array(

	array('label'=>'Create Survey', 'url'=>array('create')),

);

?>


<h1>Surveys</h1>

<?php $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.BootGridView', array(

	'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,

	'template'=>'{items}{pager}',

	'itemsCssClass'=>'table table-striped table-condensed',

	/*'filter'=>$model,*/

	'columns'=>array(

		array('class'=>'CLinkColumn', 'header'=>'Household No.', 'labelExpression'=>'$data->household_number', 'urlExpression'=>'Yii::app()->createUrl("survey/view", array("id"=>$data->id))'),

		'date::Survey date',

		array('class'=>'CDataColumn', 'header'=>'Surveyor', 'value'=>'$data->user->first_name." ".$data->user->last_name', 'visible'=>Yii::app()->user->role=='admin'),

		array('class'=>'CDataColumn', 'header'=>'Householder', 'value'=>'$data->householder_last_name'),

		array('class'=>'CDataColumn', 'header'=>'Street name', 'value'=>'$data->street'),

		'postcode',

		array('class'=>'CLinkColumn', 'header'=>'Report', 'labelExpression'=>'"View report"', 'urlExpression'=>'Yii::app()->createUrl("survey/report", array("id"=>$data->id))'),

		array('class'=>'CButtonColumn', 'visible'=>Yii::app()->user->role=='admin'),

	),

)); ?>

I tried an alternate route to solving this which was to implement it in a staging environment on our web server instead of locally, and it works fine there. Bit cluncky for debugging but good enough for my purposes :)

Thanks again

Andy
