Question

I have a Yii Powered web app with a controller (PostController) and a “view” column in database.

How can I update these rows when visitors view Post page?

Now my code is working, but is it correct or are there any comments/suggestions?

public function actionView($id)
{
    $this->render('view',array(
        'model'=>$this->loadModel($id),
    ));
    Quotes::model()->updateCounters(array('views'=>+1), 'id=' . $id );
}

Answer 1

in the Quotes model:

public function afterFind() {
    $this->view++;
    $this->save();
}

this will update views everytime after find.
in controller:

public function actionView($id)
{
    $this->render('view',array(
        'model'=>$this->loadModel($id),//or 'model'=>Quotes::model()->findByPk($id)
    ));
}
