auth module integration steps

1) Download the latest release from Yii extensions Auth.

http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/auth/

and placed under folder protected/modules, if not please create one folder named modules

2)Then protected/config/main.php 

on module array add

        'modules'=>array(
                .........
                'auth', 
                
                ),

OR 

'modules'=>array(
        .........

  'auth' => array(
        'strictMode' => true, // when enabled authorization items cannot be assigned children of the same type.
        'userClass' => 'User', // the name of the user model class.
        'userIdColumn' => 'id', // the name of the user id column.
        'userNameColumn' => 'name', // the name of the user name column.
        'appLayout' => 'application.views.layouts.main', // the layout used by the module.
        'viewDir' => null, // the path to view files to use with this module.
  ),

  ),

in components array

  'components' => array(
    'authManager' => array(
        ......
      'behaviors' => array(
        'auth' => array(
          'class' => 'auth.components.AuthBehavior',
          'admins' => array('admin', 'foo', 'bar'), // users with full access
        ),
      ),
    ),
    'user' => array(
      'class' => 'auth.components.AuthWebUser',
    ),
  ),

Please note that while the module doesn't require you to use a database, if you wish to use CDbAuthManager you need it's schema (it can be found in the framework under web/auth/schema-mysql.sql(if mysql is using), and it import to your db).

also change the authManager array to 

   'authManager' => array(
                'class' => 'CDbAuthManager',
                'connectionID' => 'db',
                'behaviors' => array(
                        'auth.components.AuthBehavior',
                ),
        ),
        

and in main controller  use 

        public function filters()
        {
        return array(
        array('auth.filters.AuthFilter'),
        );
        }

auth module will ready to use index.php?r=auth with normal template 

3) if you want to use bootstrap pleas do as below

download bootstrap from http://www.yiiframew...nsion/bootstrap and placed under protected/extension/bootstrap
then copy the theme from bootstrap to theme folder under you webapplication/themes/



Top of the protected/config/main.php add 

        Yii::setPathOfAlias('bootstrap', dirname(__FILE__).'/../extensions/bootstrap');

in components array 

   'bootstrap'=>array(
                                'class'=>'bootstrap.components.Bootstrap',
                ),

and change appLayout from auth array as below

    modules =array(
                
                auth=>array(
                ......
                'appLayout' => 'webroot.themes.theme.views.layouts.main', // the layout used by the module.
                                )
        ),

Before Save Function in Model

beforeSave() -- model is a nice function in yii framework

When we update record in table, Some fields are changed by default like when record created, when record modified etc. Here I wrote code for this action. In Format 1, I configured separately for created date, modified date. $this->isNewRecord is return true, if it is new record. Now I affected date only If $this->isNewRecord is return false, I will affect modified date only. In Format 2, I configured both created date, modified date in beforeSave() function. In this code, created date will affected only on new record. modified date will affected on when recored created or When record modified This function reduce our workflow. Just make this function once It was very helpful.




class Mail extends CActiveRecord
{
    // Format 1
    public function beforeSave() 
    {
        if($this->isNewRecord)
        {           
            $this->date=new CDbExpression('NOW()');
            $this->status=0; //option by default
        }else{
             $this->modified = new CDbExpression('NOW()');
        }
        return parent::beforeSave();
    }

    // Format 2

    public function beforeSave() 
    {
        if($this->isNewRecord)
        {           
            $this->date=new CDbExpression('NOW()');
            $this->status=0; //option by default
        }
        $this->modified = new CDbExpression('NOW()');
        return parent::beforeSave();
    }
}
