There is a init() function you can use in models / controllers which will be executed on class call.davey– davey2014-04-16 12:19:42 +00:00Commented Apr 16, 2014 at 12:19

In a lot of Yii classes there are 2 methods that can be used to define initialization code : __construct() and init():
__construct() is a native php method to instantiate the object.
init() is called when Yii has performed it's own instantiation of the class (for example in a CActiveRecord class Yii has set the scenario name)
it's up to you to use
public function __construct()
{
//Your code
return parent::contruct()
}
or just to use the init method
public function init()
{
//Your code
}
if you use construct be carefull because some classes constructors have some params that you'll also have to set (for example CActiveRecord take the scenario name as a param)
If I were you I'll use the init method as often as possible.
