Wiki articles in category How-tos

Cookie management in Yii is easy, but may not be so obvious for the beginners to this framework, so I wrote this simple article to clear some doubts out.

I want to create a wiki page, and therefore im opening this discussion on this forum, for answering all questions and see other opinions, how do you use vim with yii.

All done, now we can call all the actionProvider actions as controllerID/actionPrefix.actionID. Here is the example:

Create a folder where to place an Yii app under wordpress folder (mine is "yii')

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

Delploying anything using joomla's framework is quite difficult. The framework don't provide a good MVC structure and the documentation is very poor.

This had me stumped for a while so I figured it would be nice to share here to avoid others the grief.

Checkboxes have two possible values, true and false, but some applications require that the user select one particular value before proceeding. Examples might be:

PHPIDS is a well known project that can be found in php-ids.org.

PHPIDS é conhecido projeto que pode ser visto em php-ids.org.

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.

There are a couple of ways to achieve this, but the first is preferred.

Occasionally one wishes to set systemwide parameters for an application, such as a contact address for email, an application name, or setting an option that guides major behavior. Yii provides for setting of static parameters in the configuration file, and this article talks about how to do it conveniently.

The customary configuration of a Yii application includes just a single database section in the protected/config/main.php file, but it's easy to extend this to support more than one, tying each Model to one of the databases.

Please, note. This article is entirely based on a work done by me colleague developer, who hasn't got account on this webpage and also hasn't got time for writing this article. I'm writing it for him. I will try to forward him any comments that may appear, but can't assure if/when he'll be able to answer. I'm far, far less experienced in Oracle therefore I won't probably be able to help myself.

In this article I'll try to explain how to use standard quick search fields in CGridView with customized columns.
For example:
We have a record in a database with field switch having 0 or 1 values. After that we want a user to see on or off instead 1 or 0.
So we do the usual thing:

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
//.....
array(
    'name'=>'...

Yii's by-default directory organization works well enough, but there are several steps one can take that improve the security and serviceability of the system, especially in the context of multiple Yii projects on the same machine (including multiple versions of the same project).

Yii comes with a set of powerful classes for logging. If you have read the documentation about logging messages, you have noticed that we can actually decide which messages we wish to log. And this is exactly what we are going to do, using [CWebLogRoute](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CWebLog...

One can control the detail of a web application in the webroot/index.php file by manipulating the values of YII_DEBUG and YII_TRACE_LEVEL, but these don't appear to be used by console applications. This is because although the base CApplication class defines a displayError() method that does consider these variable, CConsoleApplication overrides it with a function that doesn't honor th...

This very short how-to presents steps required to change controller name. It is oriented for less experienced users, which are starting their journey with Yii, to avoid common newbie pitfalls.
