‎Install Yii

New page

==Preliminaries==
Apache must have rewrite enabled to allow for tidy URLs: [[Enable_Apache_Rewrite_via_htaccess#2nd_Method]]

==Install Yii==
Now we can get the latest version of the Yii Framework. For development I'm installing it to ~/Network/Apps/WebDev
Next what we will do is create a soft link called "current" to that release folder that way if we change the Yii Framework version, we can do so just updating the sym link
<pre>
sudo ln -s /home/nitrous/orac/software/WebDev/yii-1.x.xxxx yii
</pre>

===Yii Skeleton===
<pre>
mkdir /var/www/cf
cd /var/www/cf
../yii/framework/yiic webapp /var/www/cf
</pre>
*Edit /var/www/cf/protected/config/main.php where it says // uncomment the following to use a MySQL database
<pre>
''db'=>array(
'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=cf',
'emulatePrepare' => true,
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '********',
'charset' => 'utf8',
),
</pre>
*Add User Management Module
<pre>
cd protected
mkdir modules
cd modules
wget http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yii-user-management/files/User_Management_Module_0.5.tar.bz2
tar xvf User_Management_Module_0.5.tar.bz2
</pre>
Follow instructions in protected/modules/user/docs/InstallTutorial.txt
*Enable tidy URLSs: edit /protected/config.main.php and look for "// uncomment the following to enable URLs in path-format" and uncomment it.
*To enable Gii add the following to protected/config/main.php
<pre>
'modules' => array(
...
'gii'=>array(
'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',
'password'=>'pick up a password here',
)
</pre>

==Database==
*Create cf database
**address
**business
**cashbook
**sales_tax_rate
**sales_tax_type
**to_from
**transaction_category
**transaction_reference

===Points to Note===
#Yii is case sensitive, so start tables with lower-case and create model in Yii with a lowercase too (from skelton returning lowercase table names)

===Create Modules===
*http://localhost/cf/index.php/gii
*Create module eg business
*Create model for module eg:
**table name: business
**model class: Business
**model path: business.models
*Create CRUD for module eg:
**Model class: business.models.Business
**Controller ID: business/Business
*Add business module, edit /protected/config/main.php and add business under modules

===Edit Models===
====public function relations()====
<pre>
public function relations()
{
return array(
'created_by'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'User', 'created_by_ID'),
'modified_by'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'User', 'modified_by_ID'),
'sales_tax_type'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'Sales_tax_types', 'sales_tax_type_ID'),

);
}
</pre>
====public function rules()====
<pre>
public function rules()
{
return array(
array('tax_code', 'required'),
array('tax_code', 'length', 'max'=>64),
array('tax_description', 'required'),
array('tax_description', 'length', 'max'=>256),
);

}
</pre>
====public function safeAttributes()====
<pre>
public function safeAttributes()
{
return array('title', 'content', 'status', 'tags');
}
</pre>

===RBAC Authorization===
RBAC table scheme it can be found at /framework/web/auth/schema.sql

Add this to config/main.php
<pre>
'authManager'=>array(
'class'=>'CDbAuthManager',
'connectionID'=>'db',
),
</pre>
