* {@link CClipWidget Clips} : a clip is a piece of captured output that can be inserted elsewhere.
* {@link CWidget Widgets} : a widget is a self-contained sub-controller with its own view and model.
* {@link COutputCache Fragment cache} : fragment cache selectively caches a portion of the output.
*
*
* To use a widget in a view, use the following in the view:
*
* $this->widget('path.to.widgetClass',array('property1'=>'value1',...));
*
* or
*
* $this->beginWidget('path.to.widgetClass',array('property1'=>'value1',...));
* // ... display other contents here
* $this->endWidget();
*
*
* To create a clip, use the following:
*
* $this->beginClip('clipID');
* // ... display the clip contents
* $this->endClip();
*
* Then, in a different view or place, the captured clip can be inserted as:
*
* echo $this->clips['clipID'];
*
*
* Note that $this in the code above refers to current controller so, for example,
* if you need to access clip from a widget where $this refers to widget itself
* you need to do it the following way:
*
*
* echo $this->getController()->clips['clipID'];
*
*
* To use fragment cache, do as follows,
*
* if($this->beginCache('cacheID',array('property1'=>'value1',...))
* {
* // ... display the content to be cached here
* $this->endCache();
* }
