I would like to share my little experience with Yii to the community in the form of the below small wiki:

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).

create a class file under protected\components named RActiveRecord.php

After reading the other wiki article regarding token based access, I thought that it might be interesting to share my method.

Alternatively, inline assets (JS/CSS) can be registered at runtime from within the View. For example you can clearly simulate the ajaxLink feature using a inline javascript.

1. Create an Active Record Behavior that builds the criteria for the search() method and attach it to your model
2. Modify the search() method of the model to merge the behavior's criteria in with the rest of the searchable attributes
3. Modify the _search form view to add the date range inputs

Working with scenarios, with models that can receive many modifications in their rules or structures as development evolves, can create disruptions in the rescue process.

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.
