private static function loadItems($type) { self::$_items[$type]=array(); $models=self::model()->findAll(array( 'condition'=>'type=:type', 'params'=>array(':type'=>$type), 'order'=>'position', )); foreach($models as $model) self::$_items[$type][$model->code]=$model->name; } |
4.2) Modify {webroot}/protected/model/Post.php
Add constants.
const STATUS_DRAFT=1; const STATUS_PUBLISHED=2; const STATUS_ARCHIVED=3; |
B) Creating and Updating Post

protected function afterSave() { parent::afterSave(); Tag::model()->updateFrequency($this->_oldTags, $this->tags); }
