So, I'm a beginner in this yii framework.
But my job is only too design the view.
I've experienced in designing static webpage using Adobe Dreamweaver. But I can't find how to configure dreamweaver to yii.
What is the best way to design it's view?
Your question was not around which IDE or tool to serve your purpose, but you have asked the best way on your problem, then I vote to PHPStorm anyway. In your case, you can use Live Edit.
It allows you to view your changes in an actual browser window
instantly without a page refresh, reload corresponding browser pages
(related to opened file in IDE) and highlight corresponding element.
Currently only Google Chrome is supported (extensions for Firefox &
Safari are still postponed).
See demo

And here is references how to configure LiveEdit

I am trying to open a chrome app (this one here- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/text/mmfbcljfglbokpmkimbfghdkjmjhdgbg) from a link/button within a website.
I have found similar posts about this topic but the answers say you need to make your own extension. I have seen in another post that you could use chrome.management.launchApp but I believe that this requires you to make your own extension.
My questions are -
1-Is it possible to do this without an extension
2-If not, is there an extension that is already out there
3-How would you implement a link to a chrome app within a website
I am sorry if my knowledge on this topic is a bit basic as I usually stick to html and css.
I recently started working on some wordpress themes.
I usually have to change themes for my clients. Most of the time I need to analyze the theme first. I know that I can use inspecting feature in Google Chrome but I need a designing tool (preferably a chrome extension) that draws the layout of the theme I'm working on (by the main divs).
I need the name of the main divs and their class (or id) on the chart.
Can anyone please help me?

I am trying to understand about Chrome (browser) development. I am very new to this and trying to figure out where to start in order to develop for Chrome Browser.
Just have a couple of questions:
What is the difference between Chrome Browser apps vs. plugins vs. extensions (not sure, if this question make sense. But, hope you got what I am asking for)
What kind of applications can I develop for Chrome Browser
What technologies do I need to learn in order to develop for Chrome Browser.
To answer your first question this explains the differences between apps and extensions (I think there's no better way to explain their nature):
https://developers.google.com/chrome/web-store/articles/apps_vs_extensions
What do you mean with "what kind of apps"?
You can develop both hosted and packaged apps if is that what you intended, give a look at this:
https://developers.google.com/chrome/apps/docs/index
Anyway the easiest way to start would be by building an extension, how-tos and
good documentation makes it good to start with:
http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted.html
Just to add to the above answer which was missing difference between Plugin and Extension is:
Plugin is a third-party library that is plugged-in to the browser and allows for being embedded on a webpage. It affects only the web page that is using the plugin.
Extensions change the browser UI, add menus or change overall look of the browser and can process each page that gets loaded.
So to sum it up - plugins add functionality and extra features to a particular webpage while extensions add functionality and features to the whole browser and change the behavior of the browser.
Just to add on new information since people may continue to hit this question: Chrome has basically deprecated plugins as of March 2017 (Chrome 57). If you go to chrome://plugins now, you won't see anything (you used to see a list of installed plugins with enable-disable links like for extensions).
It seems the reasoning is that the only plugins they actually wanted to allow you to enable/disable are Flash and PDF Viewer, both of which were moved to the Settings menus (if they weren't already there, not sure). The rest are considered to be integral parts of the browser. https://www.ghacks.net/2017/01/29/google-removes-plugin-controls-from-chrome/
Makes things a bit simpler to think about now.
I am looking to develop a cross browser extension (plugin) and am having troubles getting answers to a few questions. So just looking for some simple answers if what I would like to do is possible. Thanks. I am currently looking at using Crossrider but would use whatever.
How do some extensions add a menu to the right click button. For example, when I right click in Chrome I see Evernote Web Clipper and Adblock options in the dropdown). How do they do that?
Could I embed a youtube player, for example. So when it's closed the audio still plays but when clicked you can see the video and what not?
For sites like Grooveshark. Could they have a plugin that when clicked you could change the song or stop the music, etc. So basically communicate with a website in your tab from the plugin?
Thanks. I just found Crossrider and it looks like some may be possible but havn't explored it too in depth yet. Kind of wondering if anyone has tried doing these things and if possible.
Google has a specific API for adding context menus. You can read about it here. Just be sure to request permissions for context menus in the manifest.json file and then you can add everything else to your background JavaScript file.
I don't think it's exactly possible to embed a YouTube player into the extension directly. Google Chrome will not allow for running inline scripts, which are clearly required to run YouTube within a popup page (or anything else, for that matter).
As for your third question, you would have to check into the individual APIs for any sites that you want to run the extension with. Every site is going to be a little bit different and my first instinct is that most sites are not going to allow for directly adding their player to the extension.
I would strongly suggest checking out the information about developing Google Chrome extensions available on Google Code. They provide a great tutorial and reference for the basics of developing extensions.
I am working on a prototype for a project that is somewhat similar to the facebook's "like" button. Basically it's an embeddable piece of code that can integrated with any website.
I am looking for a way to fake this integration for a demo. Basically I want to show a familiar web page (like http://www.cnn.com) with my code already embedded. Since I obviously can't do the actual integration right now, I need some way of faking it.
The only thing I can think about is to use http://www.httrack.com/ to download the page I want, and then change it locally. The problem with this is that it is clear that the page is hosted locally and not on www.cnn.com.
Is there a better technique for doing this?
If you use Firefox browser, you can use Greasemoneky and with JavaScripts, embedd your content inside that page. You can eaven add events, that will open some popup windows, etc. to show action of such a script.
That is easy approach, there are ton's of examples in their forum, and good documentation, how to use it.
You can write your own userscript (i.e. greasemonkey) to modify the page on the fly.
Even though I think it's a bad idea to do this (not sure if stackoverflow allows to ask such questions), but what you can do is edit the hosts file (if you're on windows) and add a line
127.0.0.1 www.cnn.com
it means that when you visit the website cnn it will display the domain name in the browser but it will use your localhost server to display the content.
