Creating Recent Comments Portlet
In this section, we create the last portlet that displays a list of comments recently published.
Creating RecentComments
Class
We create the RecentComments
class in the file /wwwroot/blog/protected/components/RecentComments.php
. The file has the following content:
Yii::import('zii.widgets.CPortlet'); class RecentComments extends CPortlet { public $title='Recent Comments'; public $maxComments=10; public function getRecentComments() { return Comment::model()->findRecentComments($this->maxComments); } protected function renderContent() { $this->render('recentComments'); } }
In the above we invoke the findRecentComments
method which is defined in the Comment
class as follows,
class Comment extends CActiveRecord { ...... public function findRecentComments($limit=10) { return $this->with('post')->findAll(array( 'condition'=>'t.status='.self::STATUS_APPROVED, 'order'=>'t.create_time DESC', 'limit'=>$limit, )); } }
Creating recentComments
View
The recentComments
view is saved in the file /wwwroot/blog/protected/components/views/recentComments.php
. It simply displays every comment returned by the RecentComments::getRecentComments()
method.
Using RecentComments
Portlet
We modify the layout file /wwwroot/blog/protected/views/layouts/column2.php
to embed this last portlet,
...... <div id="sidebar"> <?php if(!Yii::app()->user->isGuest) $this->widget('UserMenu'); <?php $this->widget('TagCloud', array( 'maxTags'=>Yii::app()->params['tagCloudCount'], )); <?php $this->widget('RecentComments', array( 'maxComments'=>Yii::app()->params['recentCommentCount'], )); </div> ......
