How to create a common action for all controllers?

How to create a common action for all controllers? E.g. a statistics tracker that will add data about every visit to the database.

Thanks.

Look at the guide:

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/basics.controller#action

Sound more like you’d need a behavior rather than an action for all your controllers.

4

All your controller extends Controller class . You can find Controller class in /protected/components/ folder. Controller class extends CController class of yii framework.

If you add a method in you /protected/controller/Controller.php file, the method will be visible in all your controller.

5

You can also create a reusable action. But I think extends Controller class is better.

6

You can try to create a filter (to me it looks similar to the "performance filter" described in the Guide).

Thanks to all of you guys!

I chose the following solution. In the main controller I’ve put beforeAction() function:

protected function beforeAction($action) {

/* ... Do something common for all child controllers here ... */





return true;

}

I seems like this way is most useful.
