-<h1>Creating Active Record Classes</h1>
-
-<p>
-We need to create two <a href="http://www.pradosoft.com/demos/quickstart/?page=Database.ActiveRecord">Active Record</a> classes, <tt>UserRecord</tt> and <tt>PostRecord</tt>, to represent data records in the <tt>users</tt> and <tt>posts</tt> tables, respectively. Active Record classes must extend from the base class <tt>ActiveRecord</tt>, and must define property names that matches with the field names of the corresponding table.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-To better organize our directories, we create a new directory <tt>protected/database</tt> to hold the class files. We also modify our application configuration by inserting the following lines. It is equivalent to adding the directory <tt>protected/database</tt> to PHP include_path, which allows us to use the classes without explicitly including them.
-</p>
-
-<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source" Language="xml">
-<paths>
- <using namespace="Application.database.*" />
-</paths>
-</com:TTextHighlighter>
-
-<p>
-Instead of writing the classes manually, we will use the <a href="http://www.pradosoft.com/demos/quickstart/?page=GettingStarted.CommandLine">PRADO command line tool</a> again to generate the classes for us.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Under the <tt>blog</tt> directory, run the following command to enter into the interactive mode of the command line tool:
-</p>
-
-<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source cli" Language="text">
-php path/to/prado-cli.php shell .

-</p>
-
-<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source cli" Language="text">
->> generate users Application.database.UserRecord
-
->> generate posts Application.database.PostRecord
-</com:TTextHighlighter>
-
-<p>
-Here we used the <a href="http://www.pradosoft.com/demos/quickstart/?page=Fundamentals.Components">namespace format</a> again to specify the classes to be created. The path <tt>Application.database.UserRecord</tt> indicates that we want the <tt>UserRecord</tt> class file to be <tt>protected/database/UserRecord.php</tt>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-We should see the following directory structure with two new files under <tt>protected/database</tt>:
-</p>
-
-<img src="<%~ directories2.gif %>" class="output" />
-
-<p>
-If we check the <tt>PostRecord</tt> class file, we should see the following content.
-</p>
-
-<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source" Language="php">
-class PostRecord extends TActiveRecord
-{
- const TABLE='posts';
- public $post_id;
- public $author_id;
- public $create_time;
- public $title;
- public $content;
- public $status;
-
- public static function finder($className=__CLASS__)
- {
- return parent::finder($className);
- }
-}
-</com:TTextHighlighter>
-
-<p>
-As we see, for each field in the <tt>posts</tt> table, the class has a corresponding data member. The constant <tt>TABLE</tt> specifies the table name for the <tt>PostRecord</tt>. The static method <tt>finder()</tt> allows us to perform query and retrieve post data in terms of <tt>PostRecord</tt> objects.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-We can use the command line tool to do some testing with our newly created Active Record classes. Still in the interactive mode of the command line tool, we enter a PHP statement and should see the following. Interested readers may try some other PHP statements, such as <tt>UserRecord::finder()->findAll()</tt>.

-<h1>Relationship Between Posts and Users</h1>
-<p>
-Recall that there was a foreign key relationship between the <tt>users</tt> and <tt>posts</tt> table. The entity-relationship diagram is shown below for convienence.
-</p>
-
-<img src="<%~ ER.gif %>" class="output" />
-
-<p>
-From the entity-relationship diagram above, we see that the <tt>posts</tt> table contains a field named <tt>author_id</tt>. This <tt>author_id</tt> field is a foreign key to the reference table <tt>users</tt>. In particular, the values in the <tt>author_id</tt> field should be of that from the <tt>users</tt> table's <tt>username</tt> field. One of the consequence of this relationship, thinking in terms of objects, is that each "post" belongs to an "author" and one "author" may have many "posts".
-</p>
-
-<p>
-We can model the relationship between <tt>posts</tt> and <tt>users</tt> table in Active Record by modifying the <tt>PostRecord</tt> and <tt>UserRecord</tt> classes as follows.
-</p>
-
-<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source" Language="php">

-

The second element is the name of related record, in this case an <tt>UserRecord</tt>. The <tt>UserRecord</tt> is defined similarly below, the difference is that, the user record has many <tt>PostRecord</tt>s.
-</p>
-
-<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source" Language="php">

+</com:TTextHighlighter>
+
+<p>
+Instead of writing the classes manually, we will use the <a href="?page=GettingStarted.Wsat">PRADO Web Site Administration Tool</a> to generate the classes for us.
+So we need to modify again our application configuration in the services section like follows:
+</p>
+
+ <p class="block-content">
+<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source" Language="xml">
+<services>
+ ...
+ <service id="wsat" class="System.Wsat.TWsatService" Password="my_secret_password" />
+</services>
+</com:TTextHighlighter>
+</p>
+
+<p class="block-content">
+ Then you are ready to go to: http://localhost/yoursite/index.php?wsat=TWsatLogin where you should see
+ the following page:
+</p>
+<img src="<%~wsat_login.png%>" style="width: 700px;" />
+<p class="block-content">
+ In the text field you need to type the password previosly specified in the service inclusion. This
+ is part of a basic security system to avoid undesirable persons to use this tool.
+</p>
+
+ <p class="block-content">
+ In order to generate AR classes you need to go to: http://localhost/divermania/index.php?wsat=TWsatGenerateAR
+ by clicking the proper links in the welcome page. Then you should see the following page:
+</p>
+<img src="<%~blog_wsat_generate_ar.png%>" style="width: 700px;" />
+
+<p>
+ In the <tt>Output Folder</tt> field we used the <a href="http://www.pradosoft.com/demos/quickstart/?page=Fundamentals.Components">namespace format</a> again, the path <tt>Application.database</tt> indicates that we want to put our class's files in the <tt>protected/database/</tt> folder.
+ The <tt>*</tt> in the <tt>Table Name</tt> field means that we want to generate all AR classes, you can specify a table name instead if you want to generate just a specific AR class.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Afterward we should see the following directory structure with two new files under <tt>protected/database</tt>:
+</p>
+
+<img src="<%~ directories2.gif %>" class="output" />
+
+<p>
+If we check the <tt>PostRecord</tt> class file, we should see something similar to the following content:

+ );
+
+ public function __toString()
+ {
+ return $this->title;
+ }
+}
+</com:TTextHighlighter>
+
+<p>
+As we see, for each field in the <tt>posts</tt> table, the class has a corresponding data member. The constant <tt>TABLE</tt> specifies the table name for the <tt>PostRecord</tt>. The static method <tt>finder()</tt> allows us to perform query and retrieve post data in terms of <tt>PostRecord</tt> objects.

+<h2>Creating Active Record Classes</h2>
+<p>
+In the blog demo project, we need to create two <a href="?page=Database.ActiveRecord">Active Record</a> classes, <tt>UserRecord</tt> and <tt>PostRecord</tt>, to represent data records in the <tt>users</tt> and <tt>posts</tt> tables, respectively. Active Record classes must extend from the base class <tt>ActiveRecord</tt>, and must define property names that matches with the field names of the corresponding table.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To better organize our directories, we create a new directory <tt>protected/database</tt> to hold the class files. We also modify our application configuration by inserting the following lines. It is equivalent to adding the directory <tt>protected/database</tt> to PHP include_path, which allows us to use the classes without explicitly including them.
+</p>
+
+<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source" Language="xml">
+<paths>
+ <using namespace="Application.database.*" />
+</paths>
+</com:TTextHighlighter>
+
+<p>
+At the prompt, enter the following two commands to create <tt>UserRecord</tt> and <tt>PostRecord</tt> classes:
+</p>
+
+<com:TTextHighlighter CssClass="source cli" Language="text">
+>> generate users Application.database.UserRecord
+
+>> generate posts Application.database.PostRecord
+</com:TTextHighlighter>
+
+<p>
+Here we used the <a href="?page=Fundamentals.Components">namespace format</a> again to specify the classes to be created. The path <tt>Application.database.UserRecord</tt> indicates that we want the <tt>UserRecord</tt> class file to be <tt>protected/database/UserRecord.php</tt>.
