This tutorial gives you multiple options of how to fully implement showing, sorting and filtering related data in gridviews.

This wiki describes a more complex workflow using the XUpload widget

To extend further static pages as shown by Qiang http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/22/how-to-display-static-pages-in-yii/ here're the steps to take:

Let's see what exactly are the events in Yii!

} ` V. The Order model would start with:

class Order extends CActiveRecord
{
	const STATUS_INITIATED = 1;
	const STATUS_CANCELED = 2;
	const STATUS_EXPIRED = 3;

• add under runtime directory, a new one call it search, it will be used for the index files that Zend Lucene will create. Make sure it is writable!

These features provide endless possibilities and unbelievable flexibility, but as current documentation does not give more than a few examples, it might be difficult to fully understand their internals and requirements.

Create param.php file in protected/config

When creating web-application projects, you can add a great variety of different extensions, modules, plugins or scripts to your code-base. But maintaining a stable combination and updating certain packages can become a hard task.
