The online tutorial link directs to a 404.

Under "Every Building Needs a Scaffold", the sentence

"The ‘ID’, ‘created on’, and ‘updated on’ columns are made automatically..."

should have 'created on' and 'updated on' changed to 'created at' and 'updated at' to match the screenshot.

The code residing in the messages controller directly under "Showing the Comments" in the tutorial doesn't work. Ian was kind enough to insert this, which does. It should replace what was previously shown in the tutorial.

public function action_view($id = null)
{
    $message = Model_Message::find($id);

    // get an array of comment models for this message
    $comments = DB::select()
            ->from('comments')
            ->where('mid', $id)
            ->as_object('Model_Comment')
            ->execute()
            ->as_array();

    // jam the objects into an array for the view
    $data = array(
        'message'  => $message,
        'comments' => $comments,
    );

    // setup view
    $this->template->title = "Message";
    $this->template->content = View::forge('messages/view', $data); 
}

In the config.php file the 'always_load' array starting on line 249 and ending on line 300 is now commented out. The tutorial needs to mention that it should be uncommented along with the packages array on lines 262-264.

$this is unusable inside static methods.
