FYI

I have been building an application using your wonderful tutorial. Let me pause here to thank you for the wonderful work you have done and to thank you for your generosity and assistance.

With my application I am running into a problem with all my controllers using models. When the model is being instantiated. for [eg. $u = new User();] I get the following error:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: Guardian::$users

Filename: libraries/Loader.php

Line Number: 1035

Fatal error: Call to a member function _assign_libraries() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\ci\system\libraries\Loader.php on line 1035

Where could I be going wrong. Since I was using the code I downloaded from you as a base do you have any idea where I may have missed a change. the reference to a users object seems like a hold-over and I cant find where.

Here is the code for the guardian model
hasColumn(’first_name’,'varchar’,20);
$this->hasColumn(’surname’,'varchar’,20);
$this->hasColumn(’home_phone’,'varchar’,14);
$this->hasColumn(’mobile_phone’,'varchar’,14);
$this->hasColumn(’office_phone’,'varchar’,14);
$this->hasColumn(’email_address’,'varchar’,50);
$this->hasColumn(’company’,'varchar’,40);
$this->hasColumn(’occupation’,'varchar’,40);
$this->hasColumn(’additional_skills’,'varchar’,40);
$this->hasColumn(’parent_of’,'integer’,10);
$this->hasColumn(’relationship’,'enum’,array(’values’=>array(’Father’,'Mother’,'Guardian’)));
}

public function setUp()
{
$this->hasMany(’Student’,array(’local’=>’parent_of’,'foreign’=>’id’));
$this->setTableName(’Guardian’);
$this->actAs(’TimeStampable’);
}
}

Here is the guardian controller.
load->helper(array(’form’,'file’,'url’));
$this->load->library(’form_validation’);
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->view(’guardian_form’);
}

public function add()
{
$this->load->view(’guardian_form’);
}

public function submit()
{
$g = new Guardian();
$g->first_name=$this->input->post(’first_name’);
$g->first_name=$this->input->post(’first_name’);
$g->surname=$this->input->post(’surname’);
$g->home_phone=$this->input->post(’home_phone’);
$g->office_phone=$this->input->post(’office_phone’);
$g->mobile_phone=$this->input->post(’mobile_phone’);
$g->email_address=$this->input->post(’email_address’);
$g->company=$this->input->post(’company’);
$g->occupation=$this->input->post(’occupation’);
$g->additional_skills=$this->input->post(’additional_skills’);
$g->parent_of=$this->input->post(’parent_of’);
$g->relationship=$this->input->post(’relationship’);
$g->save();
}

}

where may I be going wrong? Please help. I have been stressing over this a few days now. I know it must be something simple. Thank in advance for your help.

Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->setAttribute(
3 Doctrine::ATTR_DEFAULT_IDENTIFIER_OPTIONS,
4 array(’name’ => ‘id’, ‘type’ => ‘integer’, ‘length’ => 4));

For each table I have I use a different id. for example if my table is login it is login_id.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

This tutorial is awsome, thanks for share such interesting information.

Be able to teach to others it is a Gift and a great talent.

I am looking forward the next days of the series. I hope you can make more and more;)

Thats why i have been trying cakephp, but that seemed to much fluff.

Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials, they are very well put together. Nice layout, good pace, and great explanations! Keep up the awesome work. Now I have to catch up to day 12!

Your tutorial is really good. One thing i want to expand is I want to use modular extension such as HMVC or matchbox for CI. The problem is, Doctrine can’t access models which are in modules.

For example, i have created a model in a module. When I call createTableFromModels(), it didn’t include model in the module. What should I do so that Doctrine can know that in each module, there are also models that maybe using Doctrine_Record as superclass..

Thank you again for these tutorials. I am very grateful for them!

I am using MAMP and wanted to let you know that the .htaccess trick to make the URL’s cleaner does not work. I found code form this site: http://www.grafikkaos.co.uk/article/81-getting-started-with-codeigniter

This is what I used and it worked for me:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

ErrorDocument 404 /ci_doctrine/index.php

Thank you again so much, you are awesome!!

Finally got it working.

I went back to the htaccess file recommended in this tutoral, and the styling works (hence the post above) — but if I try to access any page but the main index, like “login”, I get a blank page that says “No input file specified.”

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|(*).css)

- – – – – – – – – – – – – –
<html>
<head>
<title>404 Page Not Found</title>
<style type="text/css">

body {
background-color: #fff;
margin: 40px;

… etc.

I’m having a bit of trouble loading the css information. The pages look unstyled, and if I open the css file in firefox (rather than opening it in a text editor), it’s somehow added a whole bunch of HTML. Like this:

- – - – - – - – - – - – - –

404 Page Not Found

body {
background-color: #fff;
margin: 40px;

… etc.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - –

I think this has something to do with my htaccess file, which I had to modify ’cause of my host (dreamhost). Here’s the htaccess:

- – - – - – - – - – - – - –
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L]
- – - – - – - – - – - – - –

Any ideas on how to fix this?
