How can I add new admin pages to YII?

Question

I have a completed YII and I have tried to copy an admin page to make another one. The admin.php inclue this:

<?php
/* @var $this UsersController */
/* @var $model banned */
//$model = 'Users';
$this->breadcrumbs=array(
    'Banned users'=>array('index'),
    'Manage',
);

/*
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('search', "
$('.search-button').click(function(){
    $('.search-form').toggle();
    return false;
});
$('.search-form form').submit(function(){
    $('#banned-grid').yiiGridView('update', {
        data: $(this).serialize()
    });
    return false;
});
");*/
?>

<h1>Manage Banned Users</h1>

<p>
You may optionally enter a comparison operator (<b>&lt;</b>, <b>&lt;=</b>, <b>&gt;</b>, <b>&gt;=</b>, <b>&lt;&gt;</b>
or <b>=</b>) at the beginning of each of your search values to specify how the comparison should be done.
</p>

<?php //echo CHtml::link('Advanced Search','#',array('class'=>'search-button')); ?>
<div class="search-form" style="display:none">

<?php $this->renderPartial('_search1',array(
    'model'=>$model,
)); ?>
</div><!-- search-form -->

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
    'id'=>'banned-grid',
    'dataProvider'=>$model->search(),
    'filter'=>$model,
    'columns'=>array(
        'uid',
        //'name',
        //'email',
        //'password',
        'datejoined',
        //'picture',
        /*
        'interestingquestionnotify',
        'myquestionnotify',
        'myanswernotify',*/
        'role',
        'status',
        //'newsletternotify',
        array(
            'class'=>'CButtonColumn',
        ),
    ),
)); ?>

  <?php
 // print_r($model);
  ?>

My problem is: When I open that menu point what show me this admin php, than I can see the other menu point's zii.widgets.grid.CGridView . I need to be used the Banned.php from models folder, but this one use Users.php. Any idea how could I debugg it?

I have Banned.php in models. And I have Class Banned. I have banned in views.

This is my protected/controllers/BannedController.php

    public function beforeSave() {
        if ($this->isNewRecord)
            $this->password = md5($this->password);

        return parent::beforeSave();
    }
}

And my BannedController dont get datas from Banned.php, it gets from Users.php Now I replaced all Users to Banned, but it writes: Banned has an invalid validation rule. The rule must specify attributes to be validated and the validator name.

Answer 1

Ok lets check it

In your actionCreate method do like shown

public function actionCreate()
    {
        $model=new Banned;

        // Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed
        // $this->performAjaxValidation($model);

        if(isset($_POST['Banned']))
        {
            $model->attributes=$_POST['Banned'];
            if($model->save())
                $this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->uid));
        }

        $this->render('create',array(
            'model'=>$model,
        ));
    }

and in your actionAdmin method do like as shown

 public function actionAdmin()
    {
        $model=new Banned('search');
        $model->unsetAttributes();  // clear any default values
        if(isset($_GET['Banned']))
            $model->attributes=$_GET['Banned'];
                                                    // Users
        $this->render('admin',array(
            'model'=>$model,
        ));
    }

Just Try it and see

Answer 2

As @Ninad has said above the $model you are rendering several of the views with is of type Users and not Banned as required. Replace all instances of Users with Banned to correct this. The admin method should be

public function actionAdmin()
{
    $model=new Banned('search'); 
    $model->unsetAttributes();  // clear any default values
    if(isset($_GET['Banned']))
        $model->attributes=$_GET['Banned'];
                                                // Users
    $this->render('admin',array(
        'model'=>$model,
    ));
}

Answer 3

Check the controller method which displays this view U may have sent User as model to the view as shown for example

$model=new User();
$this->render('UrViewFileName',array('model'=>$model);

Instead u send your Banned model

$banned=new Banned();
$this->render('UrViewFileName',array('model'=>$banned);

I am not sure but i think this may be ur problem
