Yiiclipse - Eclipse PDT extension for Yii Framework

KEo · August 1, 2011, 3:36pm

Theoretically I could recommend installation on fresh INDIGO release using delivered updatesite. I’ve just tested this way on Ubuntu 10.04 and seems to work fine. You can start with “Eclipse IDE for JavaScript Web Developers” package. Yiiclipse should automatically install all the dependencies (including PDT).

Nonetheless, for all those who have still problems with installing Yiiclipse in regular way can use dropins feature of eclipse. The drawback is that plugins installed such way cannot be updated with update mechanism and the same I do not recommend you such way, but if there is no other option it should work.

NOT RECOMMENDED: You need download the most recent bundle and put into dropins folder you can found in you eclipse home directory. Note: PDT needs to be already installed!!

For most recent bundle go to http://yiiclipse.maziarz.org/updatesite/1.0/plugins and pick the last one.

At the moment the url is: http://yiiclipse.maziarz.org/updatesite/1.0/plugins/org.maziarz.yiiclipse_1.0.0.201108011652.jar

Feature request: Whether I decide to use a already uncompressed Yii distribution or download it using the wizard, it should let me choose to initialize the project with any of the Yii examples provided.

Bug report: Yii extraction doesn’t work on Ubuntu 11.04, Using Eclipse Indigo. It downloads the file and then gets stuck. The wizard doesn’t closes/ends but the IDE is still full responsive. Clicking “Cancel” will close the wizard. Looking into the directory where the file its supposed to be decompressed, turns out that there’s no yii* directory. Also got full rw permissions in it.

–

EDIT: My bad. I misspelled the destination directory. However the plugin should have a way to inform the user for any errors related to this.

And… Thanks for your work. Appreciated.

Man, this is pure awesome. Thank you so much for this one

Now what I’ve always missed and do not know how to fix in the view files is the reference to the controller object. Eg when using “$this” in the views, it would be absolutely awesome if I could get autocomplete to work, even if not the real controller (eg PostsController which rendered posts/view.php) but at least CController, it would be useful for $this->createUrl(), $this->renderPartial() etc calls. I have tried doing the following phpDoc thing as suggested somewhere around but it doesn’t work for me on few different eclipse installations…




/**

* @var PostsController $this

*/

Another idea is to exclude yiilite.php from the inclusion path. It’s rather annoying and generally should not be used under development.

How can I manually install?

I am receiving the following messages:

Network connection problems encountered during search.

Unable to access "http://yiiclipse.maziarz.org/updatesite/1.0/".

Tried to copy the jar plugin, but either not worked .

Great tool!

Running under windows, eclipse 3.7 fresh install, the navigation works fine. When I run the wizard for a new Yii project, the “initialize project with” options are all disabled. Shouldn’t they be enabled?

Looks cool but i wasent able to install

I’m getting the following error as well, using AptanaStudio 2 on ubuntu 11.04 with PHP Development Tools (PDT) Version: 2.1.3

I am getting the following error when I try to install Yiiclipse Core:

Cannot complete the request. See the details.

Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.eclipse.equinox.preferences/[3.2.201.R34x_v20080709,3.2.201.R34x_v20080709]].

I also tried to manually put the .jar file in the dropins folder, but there is no option for a Yiiclipse project. Is there any other way to fix this problem?

Still no good:

This is on a fresh Ubuntu 11.04 with Eclipse v3.5.2 and PDT v2.1.3.

KEo · September 8, 2011, 8:41pm

I have put the newest version under updatesite - now there should be no dependency problems anymore. With Eclipse 3.5.2 (PDT 2.1.1) works fine.

Da_Sourcerer · September 8, 2011, 9:32pm

Sounds great. Looking forward to it

j0r0 · September 9, 2011, 12:36pm

Great plugin but …:

It only works when opening "view" from the same controller


$this->render('client');

but not


$this->render('//someother/view');

Ctrl + mouse click works only on the first one.

Asgaroth · September 9, 2011, 2:57pm

Sucessfully installed on AptanaStudio 2.0 over ubuntu 11.04

However, after adding Yii support to my project, I still cant get the navigation features to work, ctr+mouseovering code like


$this->render('create',array(

			'model'=>$model,

		));

Doest not toggle a link to my view, nor does :


<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(

			'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,

			'sortableAttributes' => array('photo.votos_positivos', 'photo.votos_negativos', 'data_cadastro', 'views'),

			'itemView'=>'_view',

			'afterAjaxUpdate' => 'js:function(id, data){ jQuery("abbr.timeago").timeago(); }',

			'template'=>"{sorter}\n{items}\n{pager}",

		)); ?>

and so on

KEo · September 12, 2011, 11:21am

@Asgaroth, try the newest build - hyperlinks should works with Aptana2 correctly.

@Joro, What precisely is your project structure? For basic cases this should also works.

Asgaroth · September 12, 2011, 6:41pm

Thanks so much, it is now working and looks wonderful

Da_Sourcerer · September 13, 2011, 11:03am

Installs fine on Fedora 15 as well as on Ubuntu 11.04. And it’s working like a charm. Thanks a lot!

j0r0 · September 14, 2011, 7:31am

@KEo

This is the structure :




//ClientController.php is in protected/controlers

public function actionContract($contract_id)

{

	$contract = ClientContracts::model()->findByPk($contract_id);

	$this->render('detail/contract', compact('contract'));

        // note the view is from other controller

        //$this->render('//detail/contract', compact('contract'));

        //This is not working too

}

The file tree is like this :




protected

  views

    detail

       contract.php
