This tutorial is for people that are integrating Yii into WordPress. Meaning that WordPress is the host platform, and that Yii will be handling AR, CRUD, etc.

Our User Class ¶

This should be saved in an auto-loaded location, in our application it was application.components, which was included as part of our application.import[].

<?php
class wpUser extends CApplicationComponent implements IWebUser, IApplicationComponent {
        public function init ()
        {
            parent::init();
        }
        function checkAccess ($operation, $params = array()) {
            return current_user_can($operation);
        }
        function getId() {
            return get_current_user_id();
        }
        function getIsGuest () {
            $is_user_logged_in = is_user_logged_in();
            return ! $is_user_logged_in;
        }
        function getName () {
            $name = wp_get_current_user()->user_login;
            return $name;
        }
        public function loginRequired()
        {
            wp_login_form(array('redirect' => Yii::app()->getRequest()->getUrl()));
        }
    }
?>

Setting up the main.php configuration to use our new user class ¶

// application components
	'components'=>array(
		'user'=>array(
			'class' => 'wpUser'
//Make sure you delete the allowAutoLogin option
		)); 

Sample Code inside of our controllers ¶

<?php public function accessRules()
{
    return array(
        array('allow',
            'actions'=>array('index','view'),
            'roles'=>array('publish_posts') 
            //WordPress capability check. 
            //  See @link http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
        ),
 }
 ?>

All done ¶

Voila! You will now be able to specify WordPress capabilities to limit access to certain features, all inside of your main controller class!
