Displaying static pages with CViewAction

If you have a few static pages and aren't going to change them very frequently, then it's not worth querying database and implementing a page management for them.

Getting ready

Set up a new application using yiic webapp.

How to do it...

We just need to connect CViewAction to our controller.

class SiteController extends CController
{
   function actions()
   {
      return array(
         'page'=>array(
            'class'=>'CViewAction',
        ),
      );
   }
}

Now, put your pages into protected/views/site/pages. Name them about.php and contact.php.
Now, you can try your pages by typing:
http://example.com/index.php?r=site/page&view=contact
Alternatively, you can type the following:
http://example.com/site/page/view/about
If you have configured clean URLs with path format.

How it works...

We are connecting external action named CViewAction that simply tries to find a view named the same as the $_GET parameter supplied. If it is there, it displays it. If not, then it will give you 404 Not found page.

There's more...

There are some useful CViewAction parameters we can use. These are listed in the following table:
