yii Property "CWebUser.bootstrap" is not defined and can't access gii

Question

I have a site using the yii framework. As the first thing, after i got the site up and running, I wanted to install bootstrap (yii-bootstrap-2.1.0.r355.zip). This, however, did not go very smooth.

I get the following error "Property "CWebUser.bootstrap" is not defined."

The Bootstrap extension is placed as /blog/protected/extensions/bootstrap

My main config file looks like this

<?php

// uncomment the following to define a path alias
// Yii::setPathOfAlias('local','path/to/local-folder');

// This is the main Web application configuration. Any writable
// CWebApplication properties can be configured here.

Yii::setPathOfAlias('bootstrap', dirname(__FILE__).'/../extensions/bootstrap');

Answer 1

You specified invalid components configuration:

1. user component is used for authentication.

2. you need specify bootstrap component

   'components'=>array(
       'user'=>array(
           'allowAutoLogin'=>true,
           'class' => 'WebUser'    //if you expanded CWebUser Yii class
       ),
       'bootstrap'=>array(
           'class'=>'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap',
       ),
   ),
