Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

composer require dmstr/yii2-pages-module "*"

or add

"dmstr/yii2-pages-module": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Setup

Run migrations

./yii migrate \
    --disableLookup=1 \
    --migrationPath=@vendor/dmstr/yii2-pages-module/migrations

Configuration

Enable module in application configuration

// module configuration
'pages' => [
	'class' => 'dmstr\modules\pages\Module',
	'layout' => '@admin-views/layouts/main',
	'roles' => ['Admin', 'Editor'],
	'defaultPageLayout' => '@app/modules/frontend/layouts/main',
	'availableRoutes' => [
		'site/index' => 'Index Route',
	],
	'availableViews' => [
		'@app/views/site/index.php' => 'Index View',
	],
],


// if used want a url suffix, e.g. '.html', add Url rules for that
'urlManager' => [
	...
	'rules' => [
		'<pagePath:[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\./\+]*>/<pageSlug:[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]*>-<pageId:[0-9]*>.html' => 'pages/default/page',
		'<pageSlug:[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]*>-<pageId:[0-9]*>.html' => 'pages/default/page',
	],
	...
],

// register frontend asset for hiding pages via CookieButton
'on '. \yii\web\Application::EVENT_BEFORE_ACTION => function () {
    \dmstr\modules\pages\assets\PagesFrontendAsset::register(Yii::$app->controller->view);
},

Use settings module to configure additional controllers

• Add one controller route per line to section pages, key availableRoutes

Settings

• pages.availableRoutes - routes per access_domain (for non-admin users)
• pages.availableViews - views per access_domain (for non-admin users)
• pages.availableGlobalRoutes - global routes (for admin users)
• pages.availableGlobalViews - global views(for admin users)

Usage

Navbar (eg. layouts/main)

find a root node / leave node

by domain_id i.e. root

$menuItems = \dmstr\modules\pages\models\Tree::getMenuItems('root');

use for example with bootstrap Navbar

    echo yii\bootstrap\Nav::widget(
        [
            'options'         => ['class' => 'navbar-nav navbar-right'],
            'activateItems'   => false,
            'encodeLabels'    => false,
            'activateParents' => true,
            'items'           => Tree::getMenuItems('root'),
        ]
    );

Backend

• visit /pages to create a root-node for your current application language.
• click the tree icon
• enter name identifier (no spaces and special chars) as Domain ID and Menu name and save
• create child node
• assign name, title, language and route/view
• save

Now you should be able to see the page in your Nav widget in the frontend of your application.

Traits

We use the \dmstr\activeRecordPermissions\ActiveRecordAccessTrait to have a check access behavior on active record level

• Owner Access
• Read Access
• Update Access
• Delete Access

Anchors

available since 0.12.0-beta1

👷 A workaround for creating anchor links is to define a route, like /en/mysite-2 in the settings module. On a node you can attach an anchor by using Advanced URL settings, with {'#':'myanchor'}.

It is recommended to create a new entry in Tree mode.

i18n - sibling pages

Find sibling page in target language

/**
 * Find the sibling page in target language if exists
 *
 * @param string $targetLanguage
 * @param integer $sourceId
 * @param string $route
 *
 * @return Tree|null
 * @throws \yii\console\Exception
 */
public function sibling($targetLanguage, $sourceId = null, $route = self::DEFAULT_PAGE_ROUTE);


Example 1:
---

// page id 12 is a node in language 'en'
$sourcePage = Tree::findOne(12);

// returns corresponding page object in language 'de' or null if not exists
$targetPage = $sourcePage->sibling('de');


Example 2:
---

// find by params
$targetPage = (new Tree())->sibling('de', 12, '/pages/default/page')
