Like in drupal docs:
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--field--field.module/function/field_help/7
Every function in the code is clickable to track where it’s defined.
We can do that in yii docs.
phpXref http://www.google.com/search?q=phpXref do that in this way too.
I don’t understand what you mean… but on all yii api pages… there is a link to the google repository source file… and all functions have a link to the google code repository source…and a “show” link that displays the source code right on the api page…
For example:
Source Code: framework/base/CComponent.php#108 (hide)
public function __get($name)
{
$getter='get'.$name;
if(method_exists($this,$getter))
return $this->$getter();
else if(strncasecmp($name,'on',2)===0 && method_exists($this,$name))
{
// duplicating getEventHandlers() here for performance
$name=strtolower($name);
if(!isset($this->_e[$name]))
$this->_e[$name]=new CList;
return $this->_e[$name];
}
else if(isset($this->_m[$name]))
return $this->_m[$name];
else if(is_array($this->_m))
{
foreach($this->_m as $object)
{
if($object->getEnabled() && (property_exists($object,$name) || $object->canGetProperty($name)))
return $object->$name;
}
}
throw new CException(Yii::t('yii','Property "{class}.{property}" is not defined.',
array('{class}'=>get_class($this), '{property}'=>$name)));
}
property_exists and get_class … in above, will link to php manual, and Yii::t; will link to where it defined in the reference:
The Yii::t() in the code above will be rendered as:
Yii::[url="http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/YiiBase#t-detail"]t/url
<- You see, that’s better for quick reference，and if it’s a ajax link to directly show the targeted contents in popup-divs, will be more handy.
