Override Yii2 assetManager config in controller - php

I use yii-jui to add some UI elements in the views such as datePicker. In the frontend\config\main-local.php I set the following to change the theme used by the JqueryUI:
$config = [
'components' => [
'request' => [
// !!! insert a secret key in the following (if it is empty) - this is required by cookie validation
'cookieValidationKey' => 'gjhgjhghjg87hjh8878878',
],
'assetManager' => [
'bundles' => [
'yii\jui\JuiAsset' => [
'css' =>
['themes/flick/jquery-ui.css'],
],
],
],
],
];
I tried the following to override this configuration item in the controller actions method:
public function actions() {
Yii::$app->components['assetManager'] = [
'bundles' => [
'yii\jui\JuiAsset' => [
'css' =>
['themes/dot-luv/jquery-ui.css'],
],
],
];
return parent::actions();
}
Also I tried to set the value of Yii::$app->components['assetManager'] shown above to the view itself (it is partial view of form _form.php) and to the action that calls this view (updateAction). However, all this trying doesn't be succeeded to change the theme. Is there in Yii2 a method like that found in CakePHP such as Configure::write($key, $value);?

You should modify Yii::$app->assetManager->bundles (Yii::$app->assetManager is an object, not an array), e.g.
Yii::$app->assetManager->bundles = [
'yii\jui\JuiAsset' => [
'css' => ['themes/dot-luv/jquery-ui.css'],
],
];
Or if you want to keep other bundles config :
Yii::$app->assetManager->bundles['yii\jui\JuiAsset'] = [
'css' => ['themes/dot-luv/jquery-ui.css'],
];

You are going about this all wrong, you want to change the JUI theme for 1 controller alone because of a few controls. You are applying 2 css files to different parts of the website that have the potential to change styles in the layouts too. The solution you found works but it is incredibly bad practice.
If you want to change just some controls do it the proper way by using JUI scopes.
Here are some links that will help you:
http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/using-multiple-jquery-ui-themes-on-a-single-page.html

In this way you are making the website easier to maintain and you do not create a bigger problem for the future than you what solve.

Laravel log file specific to a package

I'm writing a couple of laravel packages and I'm wondering if it is possible to have the package write to a specific log file but only for messages related to the package?
I tried making a logging.php file in the packages/myorg/mypackage/config (below) but it doesn't seem to do anything.
use Monolog\Handler\NullHandler;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
use Monolog\Handler\SyslogUdpHandler;
return [
'default' => env('LOG_CHANNEL', 'stack'),
'channels' => [
'stack' => [
'driver' => 'stack',
'channels' => ['single'],
'ignore_exceptions' => false,
],
'single' => [
'driver' => 'single',
'path' => storage_path('logs/mypackage.log'),
'level' => env('LOG_LEVEL', 'debug'),
]
]
];
I am using "jeroen-g/laravel-packager" to set up the packages. It appears to manually load the mypackage.config in the ServiceProvider bootForConsole
protected function bootForConsole(): void
{
// Publishing the configuration file.
$this->publishes([
mypackage.'/../config/mypackage.php' => config_path('mypackage.php'),
], 'mypackage.config');
}
I'm not sure how to add custom logging to that though. I'm still learning Laravel and I'm not quite sure what or how the main applications config/logging.php is read so I'm not quite sure how to inject a custom version for an add-on package.
EDIT:
I found a post that suggested using the following in the ServiceManager boot() method:
$this->app->make('config')->set('logging.channels.mychannel', [
/* settings */
]);
I used the package config to set a 'logging' => [ 'channels' => [ 'mychannel' => [ /* settings */ ] ] ] and could then do the same thing as above with:
$this->app->make('config')->set('logging.channels.mychannel', config('mypackage.logging.channels.mychannel');
But that still required something in the code. The next best thing I have found thus far is to change my config/logging.php to config/logging.channels.php and include something like:
return [
'mychannel' => [
'driver' => 'single',
'path' => storage_path('logs/mypackage.log'),
'level' => env('LOG_LEVEL', 'debug'),
]
];
Then in the service provider register() method add:
$this->mergeConfigFrom(__DIR__ . '/../config/logging.channels.php', 'logging.channels');
I tried doing it from the original 'logging.php' with channels array nested in a 'logging' key, but array_merge doesn't appear to merge the nested elements so my channel never showed up in logging.channels.
I'm not sure if this is ideal, however. I'd still like to know if there is a 'better' or best practices way of adding custom package logging parameters and whether there is a need to publish it in any way (and how).

How to Fix Cache JavaScript in Yii 2

In Yii 2, when I add a few code rows to my JavaScript file, that has a cache, it will not accept my additional code to the JavaScript file.
How can I fix this problem?
You need to add forceCopy option in asset manager under components :
'components' => [
'assetManager' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\AssetManager',
'forceCopy' => true,
],
],
In my case I did it by chanding version in asset file where i include this js:
public $js = [
'js/script.js?0.0.1',
];

translation view for Yii app not found

I set up an i18n page, where I translate messages using yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource with the following config part:
(config/web.php)
$config = [
'id' => 'basic',
'basePath' => dirname(__DIR__),
'bootstrap' => ['debug'],
'language' => 'de-DE',
'components' => [
'i18n' => [
'translations' => [
'app*' => [
'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
'basePath' => '#app/messages',
'fileMap' => [
'app' => 'app.php',
],
'forceTranslation' => true,
],
],
]]
...byt the way: this works fine.
For a kind of static content -like an imprint-, I like to use an complete translated view.
So I added some sub-directories in the views - folder, with the view insight:
#app/views/myController/de-DE/myview.php
#app/views/myController/en-US/myview.php
So my action does the following:
public function actionImpressum() {
\Yii::$app->language = 'en-US';
return $this->render('myview');
}
...which results in an invalid parameter
yii\base\InvalidParamException: The view file does not
exist: /path/to/my/app/views/myCtrl/myview.php
This error is valid, because there is no view at this path. But shouldn't the render() method use the path for the translation views, like:
/path/to/my/app/views/myCtrl/en-US/myview.php ??
Is there something I forgot?
Thank you.
Since there is no sourceLanguage set in your configuration I assume you have not changed it and the source language of your app is en-US (default one).
When the source language is the same as target language view is not translated.
See documentation about this:
Note: If the target language is the same as source language original view will be rendered regardless of presence of translated view.
So for en-US it looks for /path/to/my/app/views/myCtrl/myview.php file.

Yii2 Kartik Grid View Export Config

Summary: Trying to add export in the for csv & pdf download.
Followed documantation to install. Grid view is otherwise working.
Also added as module in config/web.php's $config array -
'modules' => [
'gridview' => [
'class' => '\kartik\grid\Module',
// enter optional module parameters below - only if you need to
// use your own export download action or custom translation
// message source
'downloadAction' => 'gridview/export/download',
'i18n' => [
//'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
//'basePath' => '#kvgrid/messages',
//'forceTranslation' => false
]
]
],
N.B: I am using basic template and new in yii2. I have tried other fixes like composer update etc as suggested in various posts but really stuck with the problem.
the thing causing problem is - Yii::t('kvgrid', 'Reset Grid')
Can somene give me a direction here. I guess it is very simple issue :(
You was got above error because of you have not configure i18n component in web.php file.
You need to configure i18n component like as,
'i18n' => [
'translations' => [
'kvgrid*' => [
'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
],
]
],
Or uncomment the gridview modules's i18n configuration
'gridview' => [
'class' => '\kartik\grid\Module',
// enter optional module parameters below - only if you need to
// use your own export download action or custom translation
// message source
'downloadAction' => 'gridview/export/download',
'i18n' => [
'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
'basePath' => '#kvgrid/messages',
'forceTranslation' => true
]
]
You have to replace
Yii::t('kvgrid', 'Reset Grid')
to
Yii::t('app', 'Reset Grid')
in your view file
I suggest better to generate CRUD using the Ajax Crud Generator, it will do all the required task for CRUD and export as well...try this

How to access defined URL in Yii2

I have controller UserController and action actionAjax. I access by Chrome with below URL and it is working normally.
index.php?r=user/ajax
Now I define new action with named actionAjaxUser, still using Chrome to access URL index.php?user/ajaxUser
Then 404 returned.
What should I do to getting content of actionAjaxUser?
add for each additional uppercase Letter after "action" a "-" so in your case
index.php?r=user/ajax-user
So if you would have an action like actionTest1Test2Test3 the url would be controllername/test1-test2-test3.
Be aware that if you are using access rules you also have to use the "url" path.
return [
'access' => [
'class' => AccessControl::className(),
'rules' => [
[
'actions' => ['test1-test2-test3'],
'allow' => true,
'roles' => ['#'],
],
],
],
];
The same Naming scheme is btw. also used for Controllers. E.g. if your Controller is named Test1Test2Controller the view folder name would be test1-test2.
Hope this clarifies this for you.
