I just looked at the code for 2.0.3.  There was a change that broke Sparks.

It looks like they changed _ci_autoloader() to ci_autoloader.

Do not use 2.0.3 if you have any external code dependencies whatsoever.

Thanks for your great screencast series.
Yet i tried suggestion to replace _ci_autoloader and seems to still getting “Fatal error: Class ‘Users’ not found ...”:

Not sure if I can try anything else?

The issue is that your php-activerecord spark isn’t loading.  The fix to MY_Loader.php (replacing ALL instances of _ci_autoloader with ci_autoloader) should be enough to get this functionality back.  As a test, try to run $this->load->spark(‘php-activerecord’) before the User class is utilized.

I tried both and all combinations of above.
This line works fine:
$this->load->spark(‘php-activerecord’)

But this line blows up with “Fatal error: Class ‘Users’ not found”:
$users = Users::all();

Advice to replace *all* occurences is misleading as there is a function definition for _ci_autoloader and replacing it causes redefinition error.
In MY_Loader.php there is only one line that calls:
$this->_ci_autoloader($spark_path);
I tried replacing it - to no effect whatsoever. Same error.

You’ll notice that there are 2 references to _ci_autoloader in the tutorial’s MY_Loader class. 

The first is:

$this->_ci_autoloader($spark_path);

The second is:

function _ci_autoloader($basepath = NULL)

Please review your MY_Loader.php.  Also, you may consider downloading the source (http://heybigname.com/files/part1.zip) and running a diff against your code.

Thanks for looking into it.

Ok, your MY_Loader.php is a bit different from the one listed here:
http://getsparks.org/install
http://getsparks.org/static/install/MY_Loader.php.txt

I tried both - including your + substituting underscore.

Still doesn’t work. I don’t think this “political” underscore is an issue here though.
The problem is that ./application/models/Users.php file is never loaded.
I put a garbage inside to test - this file just never loaded, even though this line executes correctly:
$this->load->spark(‘example-spark/1.0’);

But then again - whether above line is present or absent - same error, no difference.

Are you saying that if you manually attempt to load the php-activerecord spark version 0.0.1 the PHPActiveRecord class is never instantiated?

SOLVED:

1. I downloaded wrong php-activerecord. This is the CORRECT link:
http://getsparks.org/packages/php-activerecord/versions/HEAD/show

2. It is no longer required to substitute _ci_autoloader within MY_Loader.php
This latest version of MY_Loader.php solves it:
http://getsparks.org/static/install/MY_Loader.php.txt

Thanks to Shawn for grueling attempts to debug issues.

I just uploaded a new screencast.  Part 5 begins covering ORM associations and discusses N+1.

http://heybigname.com/2011/09/15/codeigniter-2-sparks-php-activerecord-part-5-orm-associations-and-n1/

Shawn, thanks so much!
Your tutorials are the best. In fact right now i am working on derivative using your PHPAR source code samples….

Gleb

Nice TUTs even I have learnt something…

Shawn,
When I add ‘created_at’ field to ‘users’, any attempt to User::create() blows up with:
“Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘ActiveRecord\DatabaseException’ with message ‘22007, 1292, Incorrect datetime value: ‘2011-09-16 18:22:57 CEST’ for column ‘created_at’  ...”

Apparently PHP AR forces timezone into it: ‘2011-09-16 18:22:57 CEST’ but MySQL doesn’t like it (my guess).

I tried to hook into before_create, before_validate to force-set $this->created_at to proper value, but PHP AR still over hooks it and over-forces it with value, polluted with timezone.
As a test I changed ‘created_st’ to TEXT format - and it works and apparently the value in created table is *without* timezone string.

But when ‘created_at’ in DATETIME format - it just fails as above.

Do you know how to fix it?

Thanks,

Gleb
