I am working on a web application that allow users to have video conferences. Users are allowed to create video conferences and I want them to be able to also edit the scheduled video conferences but I am having trouble implementing that. Please help.
Edit button in index.php view
$html .= CHtml::ajaxLink('Edit',
Yii::app()->createAbsoluteUrl('videoConference/update/'.$vc->id),
array(
'type'=>'post',
'data' => array('id' =>$vc->id,'type'=>'update'),
),
array( "visible" => $ismoderator, 'role' => "button", "class" => "btn btn-info")
);
Video conference Controller actionUpdate
/**
* Updates a particular model.
* If update is successful, the browser will be redirected to the 'view' page.
* @param integer $id the ID of the model to be updated
*/
public function actionUpdate($id)
{
$model = $this->loadModel($id);
if (isset($_POST['VideoConference'])) {
$model->attributes = $_POST['VideoConference'];
if ($model->save())
$this->redirect(array('view', 'id' => $model->id));
}
$this->render('edit', array(
'model' => $model,
));
}
The first step is to find where is problem(frontend / backend). You need call action without ajax(just from url with param id). Try my version:
/**
* Updates a particular model.
* If update is successful, the browser will be redirected to the 'view' page.
* @param integer $id the ID of the model to be updated
*/
public function actionUpdate($id)
{
$model = $this->loadModel($id);
if ($model == null) {
throw new CHttpException(404, 'Model not exist.');
}
//if (isset($_POST['VideoConference'])) {
//$model->attributes = $_POST['VideoConference'];
$model->attributes = array('your_attr' => 'val', /* etc... */);
// or try to set 1 attribute $model->yourAttr = 'test';
if ($model->validate()) {
$model->update(); //better use update(), not save() for updating.
$this->redirect(array('view', 'id' => $model->id));
} else {
//check errors of validation
var_dump($model->getErrors());
die();
}
//}
$this->render('edit', array(
'model' => $model,
));
}
If on server side all working fine(row was updated) then check request params, console, tokens etc. Problem will be on frontend.
After troubleshooting a little I finally got it to work. On the view I am calling the actionUpdate method like this:
$html .= CHtml::button('Edit', array('submit' => array('videoConference/update/'.$vc->id), "visible" => $ismoderator, 'role' => "button", "class" => "btn btn-info"));
On the controller just changed
$model->save() to $model->update()
and it works perfectly fine.
