CMS module for Yii 2

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

You can then install the application using the following command:

php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.0"
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced

Configure environments

Create a new dev and production database and adjust the components['db'] configuration in environments/dev/common/config/main-local.php and environments/prod/common/config/main-local.php accordingly.

Remove the components['mailer'] configuration from both files because it will be added to common/config/main.php

Add to environments/prod/common/config/main-local.php

'controllerMap' => [
    'migrate' => [
        'class' => 'fishvision\migrate\controllers\MigrateController',
        'autoDiscover' => true,
        'migrationPaths' => [
            '@vendor'
        ],
    ],
],  

Update composer.json file

Update the config section of composer.json if you want composer to download git folders for the packages

"config": {
    ...
    "preferred-install": "source"
},

Add the infoweb-internet-solutions/yii2-cms and fishvision/yii2-migrate packages

"require": [
    ...
    "fishvision/yii2-migrate": "*",
    "infoweb-internet-solutions/yii2-cms": "*"
]

Add references to the custom repositories that are needed to override certain vendor packages

...
"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/infoweb-internet-solutions/yii2-i18n-module"
    },
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/infoweb-internet-solutions/yii2-ckeditor"
    }
]
...

Add following rule to filter bower/npm packages that can be skipped (it will make sure you won't get a out of memory and it will decrease the needed time to update your project).

...
"extra": {
    ...
    "asset-pattern-skip-version": "(-patch)"
}

Check if "minimum-stability": "dev" is set

After this run composer update to install the package

Init environment

Create folders in frontend/web/

uploads/img
uploads/files

and add .gitignore file in uploads/

*
!.gitignore

Remove adminEmail and supportEmail in backend/config/params.php, common/config/params.php, frontend/config/params.php and console/config/params.php and at them to environments/dev/common/config/params-local.php and environments/prod/common/config/params-local.php

Run command init to initialize the application with a specific environment.

Usage

Once the extension is installed, simply modify common/config/main.php as follows:

use \kartik\datecontrol\Module;

Docs

Follow all usage instructions
Do not run composer, all modules are included in the infoweb-cms composer file and should be already installed
Do not run any migrations and don't import messages, we'll do this later

• Installation user module
• Installation analytics widget

Add a couple of system aliases to common/config/bootstrap.php

...
// System aliases
Yii::setAlias('baseUrl', 'http://' . ((isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] : '') . ((YII_ENV_DEV) ? '/directory-in-your-localhost' : '')); <-- Change your path
Yii::setAlias('basePath', dirname(dirname(__DIR__)));
Yii::setAlias('uploadsBaseUrl', Yii::getAlias('@baseUrl') . '/frontend/web/uploads');
Yii::setAlias('uploadsBasePath', Yii::getAlias('@basePath') . '/frontend/web/uploads');
Yii::setAlias('frontendUrl', Yii::getAlias('@baseUrl') . '/frontend/web');
...

Apply migrations with console commands. This will create tables needed for the application to work. Add to commonfig/config/main.php to run all migrations and remove this afterwards.

'controllerMap' => [
    'migrate' => [
        'class' => 'fishvision\migrate\controllers\MigrateController',
        'autoDiscover' => true,
        'migrationPaths' => [
            '@vendor'
        ],
    ],
],

Add the following to console/config/main.php to enable creation of users via the cli:

'modules' => [
    'user' => [
        'class' => 'dektrium\user\Module',
        'modelMap' => [
            'User' => 'infoweb\user\models\User',
        ],
    ],
],

You can then create the superadmin user with the following command:

yii user/create email@domain.com username password

Login @ /admin and enjoy!
