3. Setup

Author	Dariusz Górecki

In your main configuration file, witch is by default: protected/config/main.php config file.

Add the following to the file:

'import' => array(
    // ...
    'ext.YiiMongoDbSuite.*',
),
 
'components' => array(
    // ...
    'mongodb' => array(
        'class'             => 'EMongoDB',
        'connectionString'  => 'mongodb://localhost',
        'dbName'            => 'myDatabaseName',
        'fsyncFlag'         => false,
        'safeFlag'          => false,
        'useCursor'         => false,
    ),
    // ...
),

connectionString: 'localhost' should be changed to the ip or hostname of your host being connected to. For example if connecting to a server it might be 'connectionString' => 'mongodb://username@xxx.xx.xx.xx' where xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip (or hostname) of your webserver or host.
dbName: is the name you want the collections to be stored in. The database name.
fsyncFlag and safeFlag - see the Write Queries Flags Section, state of this flags has massive impact on behavior of this extension, PLEASE read the linked chapter!
useCursor flag see Use cursor special topic
For more info see the MongoDB connection page on php.net.

That's all you have to do for setup. You can use it very much like the active record. Short example:

$client = new Client;
$client->first_name='something';
$client->save();
$clients = Client::model->findAll();
