Creating a CSS Driven Drop Down Menu using CMenu

Created 12 years ago by blindMoe, updated 12 years ago by blindMoe.

[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.

Created 11 years ago by nkd, updated 11 years ago by nkd.

How to use bizRules in standard accessControl filter

Created 10 years ago by Maciej Liżewski, updated 9 years ago by Maciej Liżewski.

I assume you are familiar with accessControl standard filter. It allows you to separate privileges to run some action from action code itself. There is however one problem with most common usage - you cannot use bizRules, at least based on some parameters passed to 'checkAccess' just because it is hard to pass them in accessRules() result.

Created 13 years ago by Antonio Ramirez, updated 13 years ago by Antonio Ramirez.

Yii comes with a set of powerful classes for logging. If you have read the documentation about logging messages, you have noticed that we can actually decide which messages we wish to log.

Created 13 years ago by Steve Friedl, updated 12 years ago by Steve Friedl.

Yii's by-default directory organization works well enough, but there are several steps one can take that improve the security and serviceability of the system, especially in the context of multiple Yii projects on the same machine (including multiple versions of the same project).

Single table inheritance

Created 12 years ago by samdark, updated 12 years ago by samdark.

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...
