Mack how did you get your hands on the source code for chapter 5. The source code package I have ends at chapter 4.

I am downloading the code from manning website and seems to be a bug in the source code. While extracting the file on vista and redhat linux I do not receive all the folders with each chapter in the book. On Redhat linux 5 and Microsoft Vista I unzip the file and receive chapters 1-9 and 15, I also get the appendix chapters but do not receive the code for the other chapters.

Also has the pdf book been upgraded from the printed book because you cannot code as the book tells you in the examples. I have found this out the hardway and came across another programmer with the same problem. I finally got fed up and downloaded the souce code from chapter 5 and uploaded it to my webserver and it worked perfectly. Thank goodness for bloggs. Question? Does the pdf document fix these issues where I can follow page by page and code the site into a complete project.

Hello Rob,

Thank you for the nice jon you have done. My only question is why the source code and the book code is different. For example, I read up to the 4th Chapter and the codes are different. I mean there are lots of extra coding in source code..

Best Regards

OK I found how to do attributes. Where is best place to put allow arbitrary attributes thingie, I put it in the main layout even though I think that's the LAST thing to render, but it seems to be working to suppress the plain json security warning.

However, now it's telling me I need advert.json.phtml when I click the Yes link for was this review useful. I'm confused. That's not supposed to be json and it has nothing to do with this. ???

I’m now wondering how you use the headScript function to add a custom attribute to a script tag. Like mine may need to have djConfig = inside the script tag. I’ll dig.

Thanks for your quick response Rob. I knew I was leaving something out — still learning the ropes. I am trying to actually build this, not just copy code, because the latter way you don’t learn. Thanks!

Colleen,

Are you echoing out the headScript() in your layout view file?

Aaron,

I've forwarded your comment to my contact in Manning.

Colleen,

You are seeing one of the tensions when writing a book. Yes the SQL really should be in a separate method within the model, but that would have distracted from the discussion on Ajax as I discussed the model.

Regards,

Rob...

Help! My index view script is just NOT ADDING javascripts to the head. I'm doing the ajax stuff in chapter 5 but just for fun I wanna use dojo instead of YUI. So here is my views/scripts/place/index.phtml

headScript()->appendFile("http://o.aolcdn.com/dojo/1.1/dojo/dojo.xd.js"); $this->headScript()->appendFile($this->baseUrl().'/js/review_feedback.js'); ?>

escape($this->title);?>

escape($this->displayAddress($this->place)));?>

Reviews

reviews)) : ?>

partialLoop('/place/_reviewItem.phtml',$this->reviews) ?>

The page LOOKS fine, but it's JUST NOT DOIN' the headScript! when I look at the source the Javascripts are NOT being sucked in so of course it pops up an error when you try to do the little ajax thingie. Please help!
