@return user object or false

$userObject = Yii::app()->getModule('user')->user(); // Public Properties: id, username, email, createtime, lastvisit and profile relation
$profileObject = $userObject->profile;               // Your custom fields (Default: firstname, lastname, about)

		return array(
			array('allow',  // allow all users to perform 'index' and 'view' actions
				'actions'=>array('index','view'),
				'users'=>array('*'),
			),
			array('allow', // allow authenticated user to perform 'create' and 'update' actions
				'actions'=>array('create','update'),
				'users'=>array('@'),
			),
			array('allow', // allow admin user to perform 'admin' and 'delete' actions
				'actions'=>array('admin','delete'),
				'users'=>Yii::app()->getModule('user')->getAdmins(),
			),
			array('deny',  // deny all users
				'users'=>array('*'),

Doesn't the language work if it's have a ""?

config/main.php 'language' => 'pt_br',

$ cat protected/modules/user/messages/pt_br/user.php | grep profile

'Your profile' => 'Seu perfil',

'Edit profile' => 'Editar perfil',

<?php echo UserModule?::t('Edit profile'); ?> == Edit profile

For some reasons, the file upload widget doesn't work the first time when people register. However, after they registered, they are able to upload the profile photos. Bug?

I’ve recently installed the yiiuser extension and I am trying to customise the registration form instead of using the auto generated one.

I am trying to use create a drop down list using the same functionality the extension uses.

1.yii user code 2.} elseif ($field->range) { 3. echo $form->dropDownList($profile,$field->varname,Profile::range($field->range));yii user code } elseif ($field->range) {

echo $form->dropDownList($profile,$field->varname,Profile::range($field->range));

so my code looks like this:

1. labelEx($profile,'altType'); ?> 2. dropDownList($profile,'altType',Profile::range($profile->altType->range)); ?> 3. error($profile,'altType'); ?> labelEx($profile,'altType'); ?>

dropDownList($profile,'altType',Profile::range($profile->altType->range)); ?> error($profile,'altType'); ?>

I got the label and drop down appearing on my new form, but the dropdown is empty.

What am I missing?
