So you want to use CForm (form builder), but need to preload dropdowns in a form? It's simpler than it seems.

Suppose we want to set a category to product (or an item in general term), Also suppose categories has sub-categories (multi-level)

It is convenient to use the same identification attribute, say info, in all of the active records of your application. It should be a virtual read-only attribute defined by a getter method, its label being the model name.

This is an incipient implementation of application-driven database with Yii.

One of the common tasks the web application might be required to perform, especially the app using some kind of a CMS, is to save the history of data changes. Your client for sure will want the answer to this simple question - If I mess this up or delete by accident can we bring it back? Well, DB backup is one thing and quick recovery is another - let's talk about latter one.

Efficient coding with Yii implies efficient use of the code generator. This article shares the personalised Gii templates that were built starting from the standard templates proposed by AweGen.

	MY_STATUS_3

There are cases that model validators should be depended by controller/action and you couldn't manipulate on the model class or using scenarios in easy way

Ok, it is a little bit difficult to full understanding the unsafe validator.

I ran into a problem and on irc we worked it out. Since there is a lack on information on filters in genral i thought i'd start sharing all my findings, might be usefull for other people.
