A site I’m currently building requires a bunch of Cron jobs running daily to bring in and update various bits of data. It’s the first time I’ve needed to do this within the Yii framework, and it was a useful experience figuring out how it works.

Best approach for backend-frontend development in YII. Andy_s, on 07 January 2012 - 05:30 AM, said: There is no the best approach. Also there is a 4th option: admin module. Which approach to use depends on: are you developing an application alone or in a team;how big is the application;do you want to have fully separate backend/frontend or not (with different url types, login systems, etc.) ;will you need to move backend to another server;your personal taste of course I used it successfully in several small projects (frontend and backend are separated). Hope it helps Andy, 4th Option: admin module.
