Yii::app()->user->id returns the username

Hello guys,

I am going through the blog demo (very nice one). One issue occurred with my coding tho:


protected function beforeValidate()

    {

       $parser=new CMarkdownParser;

    $this->contentDisplay=$parser->safeTransform($this->content);

    if($this->isNewRecord)

    {

        $this->createTime=$this->updateTime=date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

        $this->authorId=Yii::app()->user->id;

    }

    else

        $this->updateTime=date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

    return true;

    }

Then when I click on Preview button I displayed (in the view) some debugging info myself like


echo "User id: ".$model->authorId

However, the above code returns my username instead of the id. What have I missed? Why does Yii::app()->user-id returns the username instead of the id and how to call the user id?

Thanks,

B.

Nevermind followed this thread: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/cookbook/6/ and figured it out.

Thanks
