Congrats to the team, just looking at this release now.

I haven’t figured out where to put jui themes

this is the old location /framework/zii/vendors/jui/css

ok just answered my own question, custom themes go in

/framework/web/js/source/jui/css

Just thought I would post this for others

I think, this is the most stable version since 1.1.0 was released. IMHO

Congratulations on what seems to be a very fine release! :)

I’ve used CakePHP - and like it a lot - but after trying Yii… I think I like it more! :lol:

Thanks a lot, Yii Team, for providing such an excellent choice!

Community and docs and extensions are very important, and from what I can see, you’re definitely on the right track here!

Kudos. B)

Hi I got the idea for testing functionality for upcoming Yii release, but don’t know where to post it so I try here…

As we know Yii does fantastic job for "form-like" applications, where user inputs values into text field, choose some from dropdowns, choose radio buttons etc.

When developing application I often have to fill all that inputs, choose from dropdowns to see if form is properly validated, saved, what are the results. Sometimes it is really time consuming!

The idea that blinked in my mind yesterday was: would it be hard for developers to add one visibility-configurable button [Fill-Form] on the form that would call action to fill all textefields with random text (obeying the rules, so this is development requirement), it would also choose any value from dropdown etc etc…

What do you think about that?

Use functional tests:

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/test.functional

For instance:




	public function testContact()

	{

		$this->open('site/contact');

		$this->assertTextPresent('Contact Us');

		$this->assertElementPresent('name=ContactForm[name]');


		$this->type('name=ContactForm[name]','tester');

		$this->type('name=ContactForm[email]','tester@example.com');

		$this->type('name=ContactForm[subject]','test subject');

		$this->clickAndWait("//input[@value='Submit']");

		$this->assertTextPresent('Body cannot be blank.');

	}
