Comments not saving. No error message.

[aagge]

Hi,

I have done the installation and configuration.

In my view after entering data in the comments field and clicking Post nothing saves.

I checked the comment table and there is nothing saved. No error messages. Where can I check?

Hi, can you show your configuration, yii version, and template(basic or advanced)?

Hi,

Still learning Yii2 and I am working on my first project.

Yii version 2.0.12 I am using advanced template with dmstr/yii2-adminlte-asset. frontend\config\main.php

`<?php $params = array_merge( require(DIR . '/../../common/config/params.php'), require(DIR . '/../../common/config/params-local.php'), require(DIR . '/params.php'), require(DIR . '/params-local.php') );

View File: (site/index.php)

Action:

        $model = Post::findByTitle('some-post');

        return $this->render('index', compact('model'));
    }

I use yii 2.0.12, php 7.1, mysql 5.7 and all works fine.

So far still no luck. Your configuration looks similar to mine. It has to be something I am overlooking. I am still checking.

[ihorchepurnyi]

Try to add this rules to your frontend urlManager

'rules' => [
    '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
    '<module:\w+>/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<module>/<controller>/<action>',
],

[ihorchepurnyi]

Your urlManager should be like this

        'urlManager' => [
            'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
            'showScriptName' => false,
            'rules' => [
                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
                '<module:\w+>/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<module>/<controller>/<action>',
            ],
        ],

Ok I got it working. My problem was in the view file.

What I was doing wrong was placing the code: <?php echo \yii2mod\comments\widgets\Comment::widget(['model' => $model,]); ?> inside the ActiveForm. Once I placed it outside it worked.

Thanks much for your help. This is a great component.

[ihorchepurnyi]

Thanks :)
