How to change translate yii file (messages) path?

Question

I have a project with a few Yii-applications in it. And i want to use one messages (translate) file for some applications, how can i change config file?

Answer 1

Path to messages folder is defined by basePath property of CGetTextMessageSource in Yii. Default value for this property is "protected/messages". It can be changed by putting something like following in your main.php config file:

components' => array(
    'messages'=>array('basePath'=>'yourPath'),
),
