Hi James,

I have just started using YII , I am also using the same tutorial , The approach i followed is -

1-create a basic web application using GII(You can enable GII in your main.php)

2-created user tables in my database

3-Created Models for my user tables

4- Changed the static block ($isers) in user identity , replaced with

$user=Users::model()->find(‘LOWER(email)=?’,array(strtolower($this->username)));

(I am using email as user name , you may use other column)

Now my users are getting authenticated from DB

5-created rest of the models and CRUD operations

(i hope it may help you)

All the best
