When using CListView to display multiple views next to each other, we can use the $index variable inside the viewFile to achieve this. As far as i know there is no extension or out-of-the-box functionality for this, so we need to apply a little hack:

When you're filling up a form of a CActiveRecord (using CActiveForm for example), usually you'll construct your code so that in case of validation error you'll get back the form with the error displayed back to you, typically when CActiveForm.errorSummary() is used. This is how its done by Gii.

I've gotten Yii running cron jobs, and wanted to explain briefly how I did it.

By popular demand, today I will be revisiting my previous Yii Framework 2 Getting Started Guide and updating it with what is currently available in the Yii Framework 2 Repository. Provide here is an super simple example CRUD application that will help you get started using the framework.

In order to get your Yii logs into Heroku's logs, you have to work a little bit of magic. You'll need to modify the boot.sh script and add the following two lines: ~~~ touch /app/apache/logs/app_log tail -F /app/apache/logs/app_log & ~~~ This will set up the log and tail it so that when you request "heroku logs", this log is included.

In this wiki, I try to implement a simple authorization schema without putting much logic inside a file or into database table. We are constructing authorization hierarchy inside the controller. We are getting roles for the current user from database table and assigning only roles to user that are declared in the particular controller. We have brought down the work of loading of auth data at ma...

Changing the way a CGridView is rendered from the configuration file, or through behaviors specified at the moment it is used, is handy to extend a CGridView without creating tons of different classes for it. I am surprised that this is not in the default implementation, so I made my default CGridView implementation.
