Sorry my English… I’m from brazil and don’t practice my writing a lot.
Hey dude. I just did the same thing this week. So the content still fresh on my mind.
Follow these instructions. If you have any questions mail me at thiagovidal@gmail.com or add me on msn within the same email address.
Remember that you should have 3 things basically:
M - Model (../models/RegistrationForm.php)
V - View (../views/site/registration.php)
C - Controller (../controllers/SiteController.php) you can use another controller instead like (../controllers/RegistrationController.php). Remember that the URL should point to correct controller.
Ex:
(first scenario) http://localhost/yourapp/index.php?r=site/registration (this will look at SiteController)
(other scenario) http://localhost/yourapp/index.php?r=registration (this will look at RegistrationController)
Something like that.
I build my model using yiic tool, just to get the skeleton. After some changes my model became:
Remeber that your registration form should extends CActiveRecord insted CFormModel. On my case my extends model Users that already is a CActiveRecord.
Why? Because you are dealing with your database I think its best than CFormModel that doesn’t provide some functions.
class RegistrationForm extends Users
{
// don't forget to declare variables outside from your database table otherwise you will get anoing errors.
public $bDay;
public $bMonth;
public $bYear;
public $passwordConfirm;
public $verifyCode;
/**
* @return array validation rules for model attributes.
*/
public function rules()
{
return array(
//required fields
array('firstName, lastName, birthday, bDay, bMonth, bYear, username, password, passwordConfirm, secretQuestion, secretAnswer, email, verifyCode', 'required'),
//lenght
array('username', 'length', 'max'=>25, 'min' => 3,'message' => Yii::t('default', 'Incorrect username (length between 3 and 20 characters).')),
array('password', 'length', 'max'=>128, 'min' => 6,'message' => Yii::t('default', 'Incorrect password (minimal length 4 symbols).')),
array('secretQuestion','length','max'=>255),
array('secretAnswer','length','max'=>128, 'min' => 3),
//unique
array('username', 'unique', 'message' => Yii::t('default', "This user's name already exists.")),
array('email', 'unique', 'message' => Yii::t('default', "This users's email adress already exists.")),
//validation '/^[A-Za-z]+$/u'
array('firstName', 'match', 'pattern' => "/^[a-zá-úA-ZÁ-Úºª ]+$/", 'message' => Yii::t('default', 'Names can not contain numbers ou special characters')),
array('lastName', 'match', 'pattern' => "/^[a-zá-úA-ZÁ-Úºª ]+$/", 'message' => Yii::t('default', 'Names can not contain numbers ou special characters')),
array('username', 'match', 'pattern' => '/^[A-Za-z0-9]+$/u', 'message' => Yii::t('default', 'Username only can contain letters and numbers.')),
array('password', 'compare', 'compareAttribute'=>'passwordConfirm', 'message' => Yii::t('default', 'Retype Password is incorrect.')),
array('email', 'email'),
array('verifyCode', 'captcha', 'allowEmpty'=>!extension_loaded('gd')),

Helpers (../components/Helpers.php)
I made this class extending Controller to use some own classes inside my code.
I really don’t know if it is the best place to put this but on my projet it works fine.
<?php
class Helpers extends Controller
{
final function _encrypt($value)
{
$valueHash = md5(md5($value));
return $valueHash;
}
//return valid days range
public static function getDays()
{
for ($i=1;$i<=31;$i++)
{
$days[$i]=$i;
}
return $days;
}
//return month names
public static function getMonths()
{
$monthNames = array('','January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December');
for ($i=1;$i<=12;$i++)
{
$months["{$i}"]=Yii::t('default',$monthNames[$i]);
}
return $months;
}
//return valid years range
public static function getYears() {
return array_combine($i=range((date('Y')-16),(date('Y') - 90)),$i);
}
//return secret questions
public function getSecretQuestions()
{
$question[] = Yii::t('default', 'What is your primary frequent flyer number?');
$question[] = Yii::t('default', 'What is your library card number?');
$question[] = Yii::t('default', 'What is your favorite car?');
$question[] = Yii::t('default', 'What was your first phone number?');
$question[] = Yii::t('default', 'What is your favorite place on world?');
$question[] = Yii::t('default', "What was your first teacher's name?");
$question[] = Yii::t('default', "What is your father's middle name?");
