Yii Custom Widget Simple Example
Last updated:Simplest possible way to get a Custom Widget going:
class MyWidget extends CWidget{
//init() method is called automatically before all others
public function init(){
/*you can set initial default values and other stuff here.
* it's also a good place to register any CSS or Javascript your
* widget may need. */
}
public function run(){
/* here stuff gets actually done: you can echo the actual HTML that
* makes up your widget.*/
}
}
Then, in a view, you can instantiate it like this: the init() and run() methods get called automatically.
<?php $this->widget('path.to.MyWidget'); ?>
