Yii change class of errorHandler in config/main.php

Question

I've created a Custom error handler class (CMyErrorHandler) that extends from CErrorHandler.

However when I configure the class of the errorHandler component in config/main.php to be CMyErrorHandler, Yii still seems to be using the old CErrorHandler class.

    'errorHandler'=>array(
        'errorAction'=>'site/error',           
        'class' => 'application.components.CMyErrorHandler',
    ),

How can I manage to use my Custom error handler? Thanks!

Answer 1

Did you already verified if your CMyErrorHandler is extending CErrorHandler correctly?

Answer 2

I found the source of my problem. I's not possible to extend CErrorHandler and just override the two methods I needed (handleError and handleException), because these methods use a private variable un CErrorHandle which is not accessible in the extended class CMyErrorHandle. I believe this is due to a bad design in Yii's CErrorHandle class (though I must say I absolutely love the framework). Therefore I opted to copy paste the whole class and make the changes I needed in both methods. After these everything worked as expected.
