setComponents() method

public void setComponents(array $components, boolean $merge=true)
$components array application components(id=>component configuration or instances)
$merge boolean whether to merge the new component configuration with the existing one. Defaults to true, meaning the previously registered component configuration of the same ID will be merged with the new configuration. If false, the existing configuration will be replaced completely.

public function setComponents($components,$merge=true)
{
    foreach(
$components as $id=>$component)

Sets the application components.

When a configuration is used to specify a component, it should consist of the component's initial property values (name-value pairs). Additionally, a component can be enabled (default) or disabled by specifying the 'enabled' value in the configuration.

If a configuration is specified with an ID that is the same as an existing component or configuration, the existing one will be replaced silently.

The following is the configuration for two components:

array(
    'db'=>array(
        'class'=>'CDbConnection',
        'connectionString'=>'sqlite:path/to/file.db',
    ),
    'cache'=>array(
        'class'=>'CDbCache',

        'enabled'=>!YII_DEBUG,  // enable caching in non-debug mode

Source Code: framework/base/CModule.php#223 (show)
public function setImport($aliases)

Yii::import($alias);
}

setModulePath() method

public void setModulePath(string $value)
$value string the directory that contains the application modules.
Source Code: framework/base/CModule.php#212 (show)
public function setModulePath($value)
{
    if((
$this->_modulePath=realpath($value))===false || !is_dir($this->_modulePath))
        throw new 
CException(Yii::t('yii','The module path "{path}" is not a valid directory.',
            array(
'{path}'=>$value)));
}

Sets the directory that contains the application modules.

setModules() method

public void setModules(array $modules, boolean $merge=true)
$modules array module configurations.
$merge boolean whether to merge the new module configuration with the existing one. Defaults to true, meaning the previously registered module configuration with the same ID will be merged with the new configuration. If set to false, the existing configuration will be replaced completely. This parameter is available since 1.1.16.
Source Code: framework/base/CModule.php#341 (show)
public function setModules($modules,$merge=true)
{
    foreach(
$modules as $id=>$module)
    {
        if(
is_int($id))
        {
            
$id=$module;
            
$module=array();
        }
        if(isset(
$this->_moduleConfig[$id]) && $merge)
            
$this->_moduleConfig[$id]=CMap::mergeArray($this->_moduleConfig[$id],$module);
        else
        {
            if(!isset(
$module['class']))
            {
                if (
Yii::getPathOfAlias($id)===false)
                    
Yii::setPathOfAlias($id,$this->getModulePath().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$id);
                
$module['class']=$id.'.'.ucfirst($id).'Module';
            }
            
$this->_moduleConfig[$id]=$module;
        }
    }
}

Configures the sub-modules of this module.

Call this method to declare sub-modules and configure them with their initial property values. The parameter should be an array of module configurations. Each array element represents a single module, which can be either a string representing the module ID or an ID-configuration pair representing a module with the specified ID and the initial property values.

For example, the following array declares two modules:

array(
    'admin',                // a single module ID
    'payment'=>array(       // ID-configuration pair
        'server'=>'paymentserver.com',
    ),
)


By default, the module class is determined using the expression ucfirst($moduleID).'Module'. And the class file is located under modules/$moduleID. You may override this default by explicitly specifying the 'class' option in the configuration.

You may also enable or disable a module by specifying the 'enabled' option in the configuration.

setParams() method

public void setParams(array $value)
$value array user-defined parameters. This should be in name-value pairs.
Source Code: framework/base/CModule.php#188 (show)
public function setParams($value)
{
    
$params=$this->getParams();
    foreach(
$value as $k=>$v)
        
$params->add($k,$v);
}

Sets user-defined parameters.
