Based on the [Yii Framework](http://www.yiiframework.com/) and the [Yii 2 Practical-B Application Template](https://github.com/kartik-v/yii2-app-practical-b/) by [Kartik Visweswaran](https://github.com/kartik-v). What does it provide? --------------------- [](#what-does-it-provide) Models created with migrations for posts, photo upload, redactor plugin for editing. Yii2-practical-b ---------------- [](#yii2-practical-b) The [Yii 2 Practical-B Application Template](https://github.com/kartik-v/yii2-app-practical-b/) is a skeleton Yii 2 application based on the [yii2-basic template](https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-app-basic/) best for rapidly creating small projects. The template allows a **practical** method to directly access the application from the app root. The template contains the basic features including user login/logout and a contact page. It includes all commonly used configurations that would allow you to focus on adding new features to your application. SOME KEY ADDITIONS ------------------ [](#some-key-additions) 1. [User Module](https://github.com/dektrium/yii2-user) 2. [RBAC Module](https://github.com/dektrium/yii2-rbac) 3. [Redactor Plugin](https://github.com/yiidoc/yii2-redactor) DIRECTORY STRUCTURE ------------------- [](#directory-structure) ``` / contains the entry script and web resources assets/ contains the web runtime assets assets_b/ contains application assets such as JavaScript and CSS commands/ contains console commands (controllers) config/ contains application configurations controllers/ contains Web controller classes mail/ contains view files for e-mails models/ contains model classes runtime/ contains files generated during runtime tests/ contains various tests for the yii2-practical-b application vendor/ contains dependent 3rd-party packages views/ contains view files for the Web application ``` REQUIREMENTS ------------ [](#requirements) The minimum requirement by this application template is that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0. INSTALLATION ------------ [](#installation) ### Install from an Archive File [](#install-from-an-archive-file) Will support this after first release. ### Install via Composer [](#install-via-composer) If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may install it by following the instructions at [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix). You can then install this application template using the following command: ``` php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0" php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist romdim/yii2-cms yii2-cms ``` Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming `yii2-cms` is the directory directly under the Web root. ``` http://localhost/yii2-cms ``` CONFIGURATION ------------- [](#configuration) ### Cookie Validation Key [](#cookie-validation-key) Edit the file `config/web.php` with a cookie validation key, for example: `8qMRb7Z4pO9uQ6180jVq8L10KMprgbd2` **NOTE:** You can generate random keys [here](http://randomkeygen.com/)! ### Database [](#database) Edit the file `config/db.php` with real data, for example: ``` return [ 'class' => 'yii\db\Connection', 'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2cms', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => '1234', 'charset' => 'utf8', ]; ``` **NOTE:** Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it. Also check and edit the other files in the `config/` directory to customize your application. ### Updating database schema [](#updating-database-schema) After you downloaded and configured yii2-cms, the last thing you need to do is updating your database schema by applying the migration: ``` $ php yii migrate/up ``` ### Administering users [](#administering-users) By applying the migrations above, an admin, an editor and the according roles are created. Admin's role is hardcoded in the user module within the `web.php`. The editor role is applied to both the aforementioned new users. Login with: ``` admin admin ``` or ``` editor editor ``` As an admin you can manage the users at page: ``` http://localhost/yii2-cms/user/admin ``` ### Setting Upload Folder [](#setting-upload-folder) if you want to change the upload directory. to path/to/uploadfolder default value `@webroot/uploads` ``` 'modules' => [ 'redactor' => [ 'class' => 'yii\redactor\RedactorModule', 'uploadDir' => '@webroot/path/to/uploadfolder', 'uploadUrl' => '@web/path/to/uploadfolder', 'imageAllowExtensions'=>['jpg','png','gif'] ], ], ``` note: You need to create uploads folder and chmod and set security for folder upload reference: [Protect Your Uploads Folder with .htaccess](http://tomolivercv.wordpress.com/2011/07/24/protect-your-uploads-folder-with-htaccess/), [How to Setup Secure Media Uploads](http://digwp.com/2012/09/secure-media-uploads/) ### Using Redactor in forms [](#using-redactor-in-forms) Config view/form ``` ``` ### Health Score 25 — LowBetter than 35% of packages Maintenance0 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
