Where to save own "validator class"

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hey,

I’m writing my own validator class which is extending from CValidator.

Where do I save the file in my project?

Thx

You can save it under extensions/ or create an extensions/validators/ folder

Also note the following post: http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14438-do-not-use-c-for-prefixing-customextension-classes/

I usually let extension for bigger things

For 1 class use protected/components that is imported in your config

Ok, so whenever Yii finds an undefined class / method it automaticly checks the extensions folder?

No

It will check the imported folders

To import a folder you can




Yii::import('application.extensions.*');

or in config/main.php




return array(

'import'=>array(

  'application.components.*',

  'application.models.*',

),

);

I just put it in the components folder and it works fine…
