Scenarios are an extremely useful tool for separating validation tasks on any class you use derived from CModel. In this tutorial we will use CActiveRecord.

The Yii documentation states:

** I actually made this into an extension for easier use. You can view the extension: http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/rackspaceconnect/

protected $_viewFile

If you coming to Yii with experience with Zend Framework for example, most likely you get used to

Zend_Registry::get('paramName');
Zend_Registry::set('paramName');

In a Web application, we often need to display pages like "about this site", "legal information", whose content are mostly static. There are several approaches to deal with this kind of pages.

Cookie management in Yii is easy, but may not be so obvious for the beginners to this framework, so I wrote this simple article to clear some doubts out.

The problem: If you type Yii::app()->user<ctrl+space> code completion didn't work. This solve it.

The article Fixing extensions without modifying their code reminded me of another patching technique that I used. My conviction and a hard look on the web had led me to an article [Redefine PHP class methods or class](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/137006/ph...

In this article, we describe the directory structure used by yiiframework.com - the official Yii framework website. While this structure may look overly complicated for small projects or may not be optimal in some sense, we believe it is appropriate for medium or large projects in a team development environment. In fact, we have successfully used the similar structure in some other big projects.

Backoffice Grid Views often list information like Posts for a blog while showing at the same time linked information like the User who wrote that post. For more efficiency, it is appropriate that the User is displayed as a link to the User detail page.

The Yii Framework is very powerful and it provides a lot of functionality right from the pre-built webapp. One of the nice things that is already established for you as a developer is the Login authentication.

If you're working a lot with extensions you often stumble upon problems, when you want to include them into your custom web application, like hardcoded or absolute path aliases or classes extended from core application components, which implement addiditonal features.

This is the code in the View.

<?php echo CHtml::link('MyDialog', Yii::app()->createUrl('site/page'), array('class' => 'openDlg divDialog')); ?>
<?php
$this->beginWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog', array('id'=>'divDialog',
	'options'=>array( 'title'=>Yii::t('Dialog Title', 'autoOpen'=>false, 'modal'=>true, 'width'=>600)));
?>
	<div class="divForForm"></div>
<?php
$this->endWidget(...

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.

When I used CJuiTabs I did something. They are

If you have to display a overview of related data in a table, you can use the CListView, create your view with table/tr/td tags and implement db-queries in the view to display detaildata of the current (master-)record.

Step1: Download the extension from path 'http://code.google.com/p/yii-mail/downloads/list' .

If you are about to create a graph, the best option i would suggest is the jqbargraph.
