This is a simple steps to put an analogue clock widget on your skeleton application that is just generated by yiic.

1. Get the files under the trunk using svn. ¶

$ svn checkout http://yii-analogue-clock-widget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ <yii-analogue-clock-widget>

2. Create a skeleton application using yiic. ¶

$ cd <yii-demo-directory>
$ ../framework/yiic webapp <app-name>

3. Copy image files and php files to the skeleton application. ¶

$ cp <yii-analogue-clock-widget>/analogue-clock-*.png <app-name>/images/
$ cp <yii-analogue-clock-widget>/Clock.php <app-name>/protected/components/
$ mkdir <app-name>/protected/components/views
$ cp <yii-analogue-clock-widget>/analogue-clock.php !$

4. Configure the config file (protected/config/main.php), with inserting a following line that indicates the zii search path. ¶

'import'=>array(
          'application.models.*',
          'application.components.*',
          'zii.widgets.*',  <<< this line
),

5. Change the layout from 'cloumn1' to 'column2' in the controller (protected/components/Controller.php). ¶

public $layout='//layouts/column2';

6. Add a widget call in the side bar in the view file (protected/views/layouts/column2.php). ¶

<?php $this->widget('Clock'); ?>

7. You get the clock widget in the side bar of the skeleton application as follows. ¶
