Basic Install Yii

Hi Friends,

some common question How to Install yii so in this topic you can basic install of yii


Basic Install yii

1. Download yii folder


2. Go to var/www directory in terminal

3. TO create a new project follow:


first you need to get into your webroot by


cd /var/www <– in my case


create a folder that you want your demo to be install in my case I create a folder named ‘blog’ under /var/www/yii/


then set permission to 777 by: sudo chmod 777


then type in the following command


php yii/framework/yiic.php webapp /var/www/yii/blog


if your php program has not been installed, the system will give you an install command then do it and come back to do the same.


then you can access your demo by http://localhost/yii/blog <— in my case


4. To enable gii

go to protected>config>main.php and uncomment gii module


5. To access gii generator go to http://localhost/myproj/demo/index.php?r=gii/default/login


6. To convert url mapping into path format go to config>main.php and uncomment

‘urlManager’=>array(

     ‘urlFormat’=>’path’,

      ‘rules’=>array(

       ‘/’=>’/view’,

       ‘//’=>’/’,

       ‘/’=>’/’,

      ),

),


7. Passing variable data from controller to view


In Controller

public $message = ‘Hello World rom controller’;

public function actionIndex()

{

$this->render(‘index’,array(‘content’=>$this->message));

}

Now variable content is available to modified


In View


Alternatively we could do

message   ?>

8. CRUD generation

a) Config database

e) Comment out sqlite configuration which lie just above the mysql configuration


9. GO to gii

12. We now have Message.php under model directory


13. Now click on CRUD generator


14. Enter Model name

15. Click generate

16. You can try it out by goign to baseurl/modelname

17. Access database content via these codes in controller

    public $message = ”;

   public function actionIndex()

   {

          $message=Message::model()->findByPK(3);

          $this->message=$message->content;

           $this->render(‘index’,array(‘content’=>$this->message));

    }
