Installing Zend Framework
As we are using the Zend Framework to help support our RSS needs, we first need to download and install the framework. To get the latest version, visit http://framework.zend.com/download/latest. We will only be utilizing a single component of this framework, Zend_Feed, so the minimal version of the framework will suffice.
When you expand the downloaded framework file, you should see the following high-level folder and file structure:
INSTALL.txt
LICENSE.txt
README.txt
bin/
library/
In order to use this framework within our Yii application, we need to move some of the files within our application's folder structure. Let's create a new folder under the /protected folder within our application called vendors/. Then, move the Zend Framework folder /library/Zend underneath this newly created folder. After everything is in place, ensure that protected/vendors/Zend/Feed.php exists in the TrackStar application.
