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:
A big problem I've hit with the Yii-Bootstrap extension is that all AJAX requests are initializing Bootstrap because of preload. This is a huge waste of resources, especially when using AJAX-based file uploaders that split the file into chunks. Large file uploads using that method could be initializing bootstrap hundreds of times.
I spend a bit of time looking for the this piece of code while building time feature on a site this tutorial also helped Local time zones and locales
A little hint of how to create a progress bar inside the column of the grid, using the 'bootstrap' extension.
There are several ways to speedup slow unit tests which interact with database:

V. The Order model would start with:
class Order extends CActiveRecord
{
const STATUS_INITIATED = 1;
const STATUS_CANCELED = 2;
const STATUS_EXPIRED = 3;
const STATUS_PAID = 4;
public $statuses = array(
self::STATUS_INITIATED => 'Initiated',
self::STATUS_CANCELED => 'Canceled',
self::STATUS_EXPIRED => 'Expired',
self::STATUS_PAID => 'Paid',
);

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...
In this article you'll learn how to send additional form data when uploading files using XUpload widget
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.
In many cases developers of one project use their own local environments for coding. There may be a common test platform and, of course, production. All these environments usually have different DB credentials and directory structures (first of all, path to YII framework directory). Another feature is debugging. It's convenient to turn it on for local environments, eventually - on the test s...

I keep a reference to some simple but painful task if you forget a common or something. I am new to Yii and this took awhile for me to figure out. Everything I read said do this or do that and not a single one worked for me. However, the following did.
Create param.php file in protected/config
Yii::app()->params['TEXT_ACTIVE'] = 'Active'; //1 for active
This is what I did. Its the EASIEST solution that I know of. I just reused the advanced search done in CGridView.
I recently created a project called Yii-App on GitHub to kickstart my development of smaller Yii applications. The main goal of the project is to provide a ready-to-use application template that includes my bootstrap extension and many other useful extensions. After reading this article you will be able to use...
I discovered Twitter Bootstrap almost two years ago. After trying it out for a while I fell in love with it. It didn't take long before I realized that it would be great to write an extension that allowed developers to start using Bootstrap in their Yii projects. One night I sat down and started writing what later became my now popular [bootstrap extension](http://ww...
