Starting with the blog tutorial, Yii developers are familiar with the notion of access rules defined in the controller, where the actions are allowed or denied depending on the user's name or role.
class CommentController extends CController {
public function filters()
{
return array( 'accessControl' ); // perform access control for CRUD operations
}
Gii provides us normally with the following code on the 'actionCreate':
public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new ModelName;
This article will explain how to create a REST API with the Yii framework.
If you don't want to use any of the AJAX features of CListView and thus want to prevent that it publishes any of its asset files, you can extend it and create a sub class like this:
CHtml::ajaxLink(), CHtml::ajaxSubmitButton() and similar methods are great, but if they are located inside a portion of the page that is already loaded via ajax something bad will happen, something you may even not notice if you are not using tools like firebugs...
So here is my complete solution - note that I'm using the 'short' date format throughout.
Something a good application cant miss is documentation, and what would be better than some nice formatted HTML documentation that can be auto-generated from your code, we know several tools that already do this like phpDocumentor, but today we are introducing Yii Docs Generator...
An application component is a confortable way for share information among all component of the application
There are two approaches to converting an Artisteer theme. The first is to simply copy an existing Artisteer – based Yii theme, overlay the CSS and images, then make any necessary tweaks to the layout files. This is undoubtedly the fastest route, but won't teach you as much as doing it from scratch. That's ok. Sometimes getting the job done is the top priority. The second approach is more gen...

The sql 'set time_zone' ensures that all dates retrieved are in UTC time. If your MySql server has the time zone names installed then use 'UTC' instead of '+00:00'.

Relational databases do not support inheritance so if we need to represent it, we have to somehow store meta info while keeping performance by minimizing JOINs. One way to solve this problem is using single table inheritance. All fields for the whole class tree are stored in a single table. Class name is stored in the type field...
I used another example posted here a while back where the person was modifying the index.php and adding in a switch case for different domains and loading separate config files. This was actually too much for me, because all my portals are the exact same (as far as routes, modules, extensions, etc) and if I ever wanted to add another route it wouldn't be feasible opening up all the config files t...

This wiki will explain how to include a javascript library in a widget.
I've seen many tickets regarding how to show friendly delete confirmation using CGridView's CButtonColumn in ajax request. If you are using relational database, after producing CRUD functionality when you try to delete a record in ajax mode which has child record it can't be deleted and you can see the ajax loader forever. By this way you can't show the users if a record has been successfully dele...
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.
[CMenu] offers great functionality and the ability to customize just about every aspect of the output. There are many times when I need to create a drop down menu or simply modify the look to make the designers happy. Because this seems to be a common task for me, I figured I would share my code to create a very simple drop down menu that other people could use.
Please consider the following Dear software engineers imagine I have a simple ISA hierarchy: parent A with children B and C. So let's say we have the corresponding tables named "a", "b", "c" and (created with the help of the gii model creator) the classes A, B, C The following is a screenshot from MySQL workbench: ![MySQL workbench screenshot](http://s4.postimage.org/4tuwkm43d/Screenshot.pn...
