Here's a possible implementation for MongoDb of the RBAC standard. Create a class "MongoDbManager" in `common\components and modify your params.php` file like this:

Efficient coding with Yii implies efficient use of the code generator. This article shares the personalised Gii templates that were built starting from the standard templates proposed by AweGen.

Note the tag {{homeUrl}} will be dynamically replaced at runtime.

Implementing a role based access control is a very easy process and you can even load your roles from the database if you want.

Personalmente trovo che la versione "portable" sia molto più semplice da aggiornare, ed io tengo sempre costantemente aggiornato TUTTO il parco software relativo al mio webserver.
