Question

I want to register a script within the beforeAction method(Yii Framework). But I don’t want to repeat that method in every single controller, so my question is how can i create a beforeAction() that all controllers will inherit?

Thx,

Answer 1

The default yiic generated yii webapp has a Controller class in project/protected/components/Controller.php , and all controllers in the app inherit from this Controller.

That class is the perfect place to add the beforeAction.

Edit: Incase you have not used yiic and don’t have this default Controller class, it’s fine to add a new class that extends from CController, and then have your controllers extend from this new class. You can keep all the common functionality for your controllers in this parent controller class.
