a common way to call renderFile between console and web app

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

hi,

let’s say we want to send an email with a common layout in some model afterSave

the email have a common layout we use through renderFile

the afterSave can be called in a usual web app and in a console app

is there a systematic way to call it that works in both

I suggest moving renderFile into a static method on Yii or CApplication (ie. Yii::renderFile or Yii::app()->renderFile)

because it does not depend on any thing
