Is there any way to generate a documentation for a project but display it only to people who are authenticated by applying filters?
The only solution I came up with is to create a project, apply filter rules to an action called actionShowDocumentation(), in this action I read the html documentation files as plain text files. Those files are located under /protected so no one can access them from outside. After I read the plain html in the controller I render the view and echo the read html lines in it.
The problem with that solution is obvious - I loose the links inside the plain html documentation pages.
That works well but the problem is that inside those static pages I have links which lead to other static pages located in the same directory. Furthermore I have javascript and css files related to those static pages.
Do I have to extend CViewAction to replace all the static links with the appropriate urlManager generated links and regarding the js and css do I have to register them as scripts in the controller?
You should be able to add the js (and css) files via Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScriptFile(’/js/myJsFile.js’) to your layout file. You could create a custom layout for your static pages with nothing in there but the links to js and css files so they always get loaded.
The static link thing is a tricky one I guess. I don’t know how your links look like. You may be able to catch them with a custom urlManager rule and always route them to your view action. But I never tried something like that so I am not sure if that is even possible.
