Enabling an Extension?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hey all,

I’m new to Yii… so bare with me here. :)

I want to use this extension:

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

And in the instructions it says “Include extension” in my main config. I’m not entirely what that means in the Yii world? Are they talking about a direct “require_once” call type of include?

And then this bit:


'CURL' =>array(

'class' => 'application.extensions.curl.Curl',

     //you can setup timeout,http_login,proxy,proxylogin,cookie, and setOPTIONS

 )

Where does that go?

Not familiar with the working of the extension, but this is how you should go about getting it to work. First download the zip, unzip it and place the content in your Yii’s protected/extensions directory. Next, open the file protected/config/main.php in your favorite editor and add to the components array like so:




'components'=>array(

    // other entries omitted in this example for brevity

    'CURL' =>array(

        'class' => 'application.extensions.curl.Curl',

        //you can setup timeout,http_login,proxy,proxylogin,cookie, and setOPTIONS

    ),

Or use the advanded implemention as shown on the extension page.
