BrowseHistory ¶

1. Requirements
2. Usage

This Yii extension manages a history of the last visited pages. Browsehistory memories a limited list of last visited pages (route + title).

Requirements ¶

• PHP 5 >= 5.1.0
• Yii 1.0

Usage ¶

First, unzip the archive into protected/extensions/browsehistory/, and change the file permissions. Note: only protected/extensions/browsehistory/models/Browsehistory.php is used. The other files are for development purpose.

Add 'ext.browsehistory.models.Browsehistory' in the import section of the configuration or use Yii::import() as in the following examples.

Add a page ¶

In a view, or in a controller, add a new page using:

Yii::import('ext.browsehistory.models.Browsehistory');
$maxNbOfRoutes = 20;
$history = Browsehistory::getInstance('session-key', $maxNbOfRoutes);
$history->push(array('/site/index', 'Homepage');

or using the default values

Yii::import('ext.browsehistory.models.Browsehistory');
$history = Browsehistory::getInstance();
$history->push(null, $this->pageTitle);

Display the history ¶

And the list can be displayed in a CMenu. For example, I'm using it in the main application menu (the famous horizontal menu) or in a CPortlet, in a vertical menu.

Yii::import('ext.browsehistory.models.Browsehistory');
$history = Browsehistory::getInstance();
$this->widget('zii.widgets.CMenu', array(
	'items'=>$history->items(),
));

or

$items = array(
	array('label'=>'Home',
		'url'=>array('/default/index'),
	)
);

// import and add items into a set of CMenu items
Yii::import('ext.browsehistory.models.Browsehistory');
$history = Browsehistory::getInstance();
$history->addItems($items);

// render the menu
$this->widget('zii.widgets.CMenu', array(
	'items'=>$items,
));
