CDbMessageSource represents a message source that stores translated messages in database.

The database must contain the following two tables:
CREATE TABLE SourceMessage
(
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    category VARCHAR(32),
    message TEXT
);
CREATE TABLE Message
(
    id INTEGER,
    language VARCHAR(16),
    translation TEXT,
    PRIMARY KEY (id, language),
    CONSTRAINT FK_Message_SourceMessage FOREIGN KEY (id)
         REFERENCES SourceMessage (id) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE RESTRICT
);
The 'SourceMessage' table stores the messages to be translated, and the 'Message' table stores the translated messages. The name of these two tables can be customized by setting sourceMessageTable and translatedMessageTable, respectively.

When cachingDuration is set as a positive number, message translations will be cached.

Property Details

cacheID property

public string $cacheID;

the ID of the cache application component that is used to cache the messages. Defaults to 'cache' which refers to the primary cache application component. Set this property to false if you want to disable caching the messages.

cachingDuration property

public integer $cachingDuration;

the time in seconds that the messages can remain valid in cache. Defaults to 0, meaning the caching is disabled.

connectionID property

public string $connectionID;

the ID of the database connection application component. Defaults to 'db'.

dbConnection property read-only (available since v1.1.5)

public CDbConnection getDbConnection()

Returns the DB connection used for the message source.

sourceMessageTable property

public string $sourceMessageTable;

the name of the source message table. Defaults to 'SourceMessage'.

translatedMessageTable property

public string $translatedMessageTable;

the name of the translated message table. Defaults to 'Message'.
