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 $P$.

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

There are a few issues with the other solutions I originally used that I found from other wikis. I address the issues I had in this much simpler and shorter way. I am also going to explain what is going into way more detail than others to help people understand what's going on.

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.

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.

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.

There are a couple of ways to achieve this, but the first is preferred.

This config is built on an Ubuntu 11.04 server. Software is nginx, php-fpm (php5-fpm). For performance, it's recommended to run php-fpm in SOCKET mode, instead of accessing via IP:PORT. That is the method shown below.

Trying to learn and help some other programmers to find their solutions on the Yii Forum (I think is a superb way to learn the framework), I was facing one challenge with an external library that a fellow programmer wanted to use -quite good indeed: PHPExcel. And what is PHPExcel?

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...

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...

For best experience,use Chrome.Other browsers may complain here and there.Sorry,no patience to make happy every freaking browser out there!
