Backoffice Grid Views often list information like Posts for a blog while showing at the same time linked information like the User who wrote that post. For more efficiency, it is appropriate that the User is displayed as a link to the User detail page.
This article tries to explain the steps required in integrating the HybridAuth into Yii directly, without using an extension.
The article Fixing extensions without modifying their code reminded me of another patching technique that I used. My conviction and a hard look on the web had led me to an article [Redefine PHP class methods or class](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/137006/ph...
If you're working a lot with extensions you often stumble upon problems, when you want to include them into your custom web application, like hardcoded or absolute path aliases or classes extended from core application components, which implement addiditonal features.

One night I sat down and started writing what later became my now popular [bootstrap extension](http://ww...
I recently created a project called Yii-App on GitHub to kickstart my development of smaller Yii applications. The main goal of the project is to provide a ready-to-use application template that includes my bootstrap extension and many other useful extensions.

These newsletters have always been hard to create as regular web HTML is not properly read by web email interfaces and email clients. I thought that the simplest solution would be to use a web page that would serve as a web version of the newsletter and turn it somehow into newsletter HTML.
I (www.jamesbarnsley.com) found that when using the Yii Bootstrap tabs component you will sometimes want to direct the user to a specific tab and not necessarily the first tab. Yii Bootstrap already provides the "active" variable so you can define whether the tab is the active tab or not in PHP. I generally find though that a PHP solution to...
Create param.php file in protected/config
Yii::app()->params['TEXT_ACTIVE'] = 'Active'; //1 for active

V. The Order model would start with:
class Order extends CActiveRecord
{
const STATUS_INITIATED = 1;
const STATUS_CANCELED = 2;
const STATUS_EXPIRED = 3;
const STATUS_PAID = 4;

self::STATUS_PAID => 'Paid',
);
