What would you do if you want/need to have a different than the main database connection in an module's models?

For a long time I have struggled to find a suitable tool for doing server tasks such as compiling LESS files, concatenating and minifying of JavaScript files and copying the minified JavaScript files. While most of these tasks can be done with Yii extensions I would still not recommend using them because it requires you to include these extensions in your project, and therefore also deploying them...

The basic idea is to create a complete mail message and store it a Db table along with all info necessary for sending valid emails (to_email, from_email, from_name, subject etc.)

The scenario in which this wiki can be useful is when you have to send an (huge) array of model ids and perform a time consuming computation with it like linking every model to other models. The idea is to split the array into smaller arrays and perform sequential ajax requests, showing the calculation progress using a [Bootstrap Progress bar](https://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yiisoft/yii2-bo...

Often happens to have the need of change a part of the page with ajax.

I wanted to keep all the I18N related translations in separate files, so that I would not need to modify the view files or the model files every time I need to update or fix the translations of application's source language.

Let's say, for example, that you are developing a blog or some kind of CMS and you want to track the number of times each post was viewed (maybe to show a list of the most viewed ones).

After creating an yii app . we need to implement permission, Authentication and Authorization .so the best way is to use the Yii users and Rights modules.

Having said all of that, I want to add that the purpose of this article is not to convince anyone to write tests or design following TDD patterns. I'm not going to change the world to what I think is good. It's just about showing how to use some tools together with Yii Framework.

A dropdown list can be used to select a value, based on which we can filter the data to be displayed. For example, the extension page has a dropdown list to filter the displayed extensions according to the selected category.

Everyone have seen a multilayer menu in several CMS

This guide is for more or less advanced users. If you just started with Yii or didn't worked with any web-framework before, you may should come back later :-)

Hi, I was having problems each time I had to test the site or edit something on my local machine, like changing the db connection, change the debug mode to false, the trace level to 0, disable Gii, etc. So I created a class to resolve all my problems, hope to help you in your projects!

To use this "how-to", you need to install phing in your machine.

Using a version control system, like Git, is nice. However, when building an extension from scratch and loading it via Composer, it adds a lot of pain in the butt steps. You have to commit your changes, update composer to pull them over, then notice there is an error, fix, commit, update. repeat.. I don't want all my baby steps under Git.
