An application component is a confortable way for share information among all component of the application

This is a simple example of how we can display images in CGridviews.Imagine that you have an image field in your table ie either a location field or a blob type field used to store the images.

In this article I'll try to explain how to use standard quick search fields in CGridView with customized columns.
For example:
We have a record in a database with field switch having 0 or 1 values. After that we want a user to see on or off instead 1 or 0.
So we do the usual thing:

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
//.....
array(
    'name'=>'...

var formData = new FormData($("#post-form")[0]);
$.ajax({
    url: '<?php echo Yii::app()->createUrl("forumPost/uploadPost"); ?>',
    type: 'POST',
    data: formData,
    datatype:'json',
    // as...

With Yii you can use one CActiveForm for collecting data for two or more models with ajax validation and client validation.

Hey guys, I'm hoping other people will find this helpful. Today I went through the process of adding CKEditor to one of my projects, and then integrating KCFinder as the image uploader. It will be used in a CActiveForm, without the use of any crazy weird widgets. All paths are relative, using Yii functions, so this will work no matter where you install. Here it is:

I've seen lot of people struggling in finding a way to hide the script name when installing their Yii Application. In an Apache environment everything is well documented in this wiki article, but for those who are running their app on a Windows Server machine there are no hints.

This will call the controller function using AJAX instead of redirecting the user to the url using GET parameters.

Original source code and idea are from: PHP, PDO & Nested Transactions.

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...

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).

I have a table (account) which contains "General Ledger" accounts. Each account has its own account_description - such as 'inventory', 'sales', etc.

This had me stumped for a while so I figured it would be nice to share here to avoid others the grief.

I had created one controller file which can create sitemap.xml file(which is used for seo, google crawler and many other puropse) dynamically with one run.

We can use a CJuiDatePicker for a CGridView inline filter.

Let's say you have an internal messaging system in your webapp, and you want to display messages dynamically and real-time to the relevant recipients.

My goal here is to Open bootstrap modal and load ANY content using ajax response.

I was looking around wiki and found that was no approach as the one I did so I guessed this is worth to write.

In this How-To I'll show you:

Hi Friends, In this tutorial you can use the eajaxupload-extension ,
