To fix issues with display of special language characters once and for all there's a solution: use Unicode UTF-8 everywhere. If everything is set up to use Unicode, you can use mostly every language in your application.

We can use a CJuiDatePicker for a CGridView inline filter.

When you're finished following this article, you'll have a website that integrates WordPress and Yii routes in under one path. For example, you can setup /widgets and /customers to point to Yii controllers and /about-us, /contact-us, /blog/* and /faq pointing to WordPress pages.

In this article, I will describe how to manage URLs for a Website that has both secure and nonsecure content.

Maybe it looks simple, but some time ago I need some time to find a solution of this case. I finally got it, and I want to share that I also experienced such cases. So that it can make reference.

Using filters on CGridView with CActiveDataProvider is easy, but with CArrayDataProvider it is a bit tricky.

The customary configuration of a Yii application includes just a single database section in the protected/config/main.php file, but it's easy to extend this to support more than one, tying each Model to one of the databases.

First of all, You must change component config to enable the default Yii CSRF validation.

Since version 5.4 PHP can work as a simple webserver so you can develop Yii applications without installing Apache. That's how to use it:

class Post extends CActiveRecord {

...

} ` When you list Authors in grid you would like to print the count of posts in column, allow sorting on this column and probably filtering by the count.

This tip created in conjunction with IRC #yii channel users emilsedgh and tydeas - thanks!

This is what I did. Its the EASIEST solution that I know of. I just reused the advanced search done in CGridView.

• iteration_count_log2 controls the number of iterations for key stretching. A setting of 8 means the hash algorithm will be applied 2^⁸ = 256 times. This setting should be kept between 4 and 31.
• portable_hashes controls whether portable hashes should be used or not. Portable hashes are salted MD5 hashes prefixed by $P$.

This page intends to provide an exhaustive guide of how to use Javascript (JS) in Yii. It does not explain how to learn coding in JS, but how to deal with it "the Yii way".

Since I used CGridView for a first time, I didn't like how it handled operations like sorting, filtering, changing page and etc using AJAX.

All done, now we can call all the actionProvider actions as controllerID/actionPrefix.actionID. Here is the example:

Checkboxes have two possible values, true and false, but some applications require that the user select one particular value before proceeding. Examples might be:

Cookie management in Yii is easy, but may not be so obvious for the beginners to this framework, so I wrote this simple article to clear some doubts out.

In this tutorial will be explained a method to manage some configuration runtime. This excellent tutorial follows a similar approach, but requires to write a masterclass which all controllers are supposed to extend, following this wiki you can achieve the same by only editing the configuration.

Normally when we want users to download a file, that file is put in a folder under the web application root and the web server does the rest.
