In this article I will show you how to slightly increase application security, by exploiting the fact that Yii implements the Front Controller Pattern.

One of the common requests I see in the forum is how to implement RBAC. While you can implement Yii 2's built-in RBAC, that might be too much for developers who are just starting with Yii 2 or have simpler needs. Sometimes you are looking for a fast solution and just want two flavors, user and admin. And even if you will eventually need more, you can use these methods as a starting point for devel...

Stores session data in database and transfer data when session is destroy. Uses for check users online, user's last activity and last ip.

As we know YII is the Leading Framework of PHP. Lots of new developers are starting to use YII day by day. Most of the beginners are little bit confused with how to start with YII . I think this note will help them. Follow the simple steps To run a Yii-powered Web application, you need a Web server that supports PHP 5.1.0.

The only differences in Yii 2 is that its much simpler due to available functions in the Model class for loading and validating models.

Alternatively, inline assets (JS/CSS) can be registered at runtime from within the View. For example you can clearly simulate the ajaxLink feature using a inline javascript. Its however recommended if you can merge where possible, client code (JS/CSS) into separate JS/CSS files and loaded through the AssetBundle. Note there is no more need of a CClientScript anymore:

Step 1: Initialize the Bootstrap Tooltip & Popover plugins in your view layout file @web\views\layouts\main.php. Add this to somewhere in the beginning head section (after you have loaded the Jquery using your AppAsset or something similar).

• Running a composer update does not fetch any new packages (even though the source is updated)

• Facing on and off problems when fetching packages while performing composer update.
• You ran a composer update earlier, but it was partially done, before you lost network connectivity, and you cannot refresh packages anymore.

I was able to set up the infinite scroll of select2 in Yii. I am glad to share it with you. The demo and source code can be found here. However, select2 for Yii can be found here which uses a widget.

Language translation is a common requirement in multi lingual sites. In Yii, we can translate using message and view translation.

I wanted to implement a widget that could refresh itself through Ajax without refreshing the whole page. CGridView and CListView are excellent examples of such widgets.

In your application configuration (protected/config/main.php), set the sourceLanguage parameter to English:
