Rights is one of user interface for Yii's Role Base Access Control extension. It is one of most downloaded extensions in Yii's Web.

I recently built a tarpit for bad bots.

Yii i18n does not cover decimal format. Some languages like Spanish (I live in Argentina) uses comma ',' instead of dot '.' as decimal separator.

Hi,

Normally when we want users to download a file, that file is put in a folder under the web application root and the web server does the rest.

I was wondering how to set-up the application parameters in the back-end to use them all around the application without the need of using the database and I came up with this solution, I hope it helps somebody else.

The giix code generator has out of the box i18n support for model names and attribute labels (besides other cool features > check it out!) .
But I want to factor in not only the plural form, but also the grammatical cases (especially the accusative) while translating 'Manage Objects', 'Create Object', 'Edit Object' etc.

A few days ago, i worked for CGridView exporting functional for my client. He asked me to create a simple exporting to a CSV file a CGridView search results.

As you know, the CDetailView widget displays details of a single model. If no formatting is specified, boolean values that are stored in the database as 0 and 1, are represented in the detail view as 0 and 1. If formatted as boolean, they are represented as 'No' and 'Yes'. We want to add i18n support, so that Yes and No appear in the current language.

The most difficult thing in a big project, is to manage conflicts with files modified by others users. Git can do this work for us.

This wiki is a work in progress.

Since version 5.4 PHP can work as a simple webserver so you can develop Yii applications without installing Apache. That's how to use it:

    For each column of the CGridView, we can specify name, value, htmlOptions, cssClassExpression etc. In the declarations of the attributes value and cssClassExpression we can use the "special" variable $data, for example like this:
'value'=>'$data->author->username',.
    Now we might want to use $data in the declaration of the `...

Use SQL SERVER 2000, the date format not like: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss. So I change to use SQL SERVER 2008 EXPRESS.

[CMenu] offers great functionality and the ability to customize just about every aspect of the output. There are many times when I need to create a drop down menu or simply modify the look to make the designers happy. Because this seems to be a common task for me, I figured I would share my code to create a very simple drop down menu that other people could use.

I've found useful to have a step by step reference guide to work with Git with most used commands, feel free to update it with useful information you may find interesting too.

You can find the reason why I wrote this article here.

In application development we often have to choose how to mange recurrent values.

This method allows to log InnoDB monitor output when deadlock error occured. This way we will have much more useful data to find and fix deadlock.

If you tried this extension with success, maybe you thought how to do it without page submission or ajax calls.
