Download

Download the package and unzip its contents in your extensions folder. We highly recommend the use of Composer to manage your dependencies. For those having problems, we are planning to do exactly the same thing we did for YiiWheels at Yiinitializr site.

Configuration

Within the download you'll find the following file structure and contents, logically grouping assets, helpers and widgets in respective directories.

Unzip the contents of the package under protected/extensions/yiifoundation. The folder structure should now be the following (if you are using Composer that would be within the vendor folder:

    protected
      └── extensions
          └── yiifoundation
              ├── assets
              │   ├── css
              │   ├── images
              │   └── js
              │
              ├── enum
              ├── fonts
              ├── helpers
              ├── tests
              └── widgets
                

Now that we have placed the extension, please open your application configuration file in protected/config/main.php and modify it according to the following example:

<?php
// main configuration
return array(
    ...
    // path aliases
    'aliases' => array(
        ...
        // yiifoundation configuration
        'foundation' => 'application.extensions.yiifoundation',
    ),
);
                    

And that's it! Yeah, there are no components on this library. It is helper based. If you use one of the widgets, it will automatically register the required scripts by calling the Foundation::register method of the Foundation helper.

heads up! If you are using just helpers, you will have to register the files your self!. Check Foundation helper docs for more information.

What's included

YiiFoundation will also have its own version of YiiWheels. At least thats the plan. Nevertheless, we've covered all the great functionality of ZURB Foundation Framework

What's next?

Head the docs for examples or take a look at the API.
