I'm trying to find a way to use custom Gii templates for Yii 2, but looking at the missing documentation in the docs, I assume it's not possible yet?
Or am I missing something?
Copy ie. the crud generator templates from gii/generators/crud/templates to your application app/templates/mycrud.
Then define the templates in your config:
$config['modules']['gii'] = [
'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',
'generators' => [
'crud' => [
'class' => 'yii\gii\generators\crud\Generator',
'templates' => ['mycrud' => '#app/templates/mycrud']
]
]
];
Until the documentation is finished you may also have a look at my Gii extension how to create a custom generator and templates.

I am trying to apply a theme to yii2 advanced application in frontend.
the code I am using to apply the theme is as follows:
'view' => [
'theme' => [
'pathMap' => ['#app/views' => '#app/themes/stargazers'],
'baseUrl' => '#web/../themes/stargazers',
],
],
pretty URL is turned on.
The physical location of theme is in the path like
frontend/themes/stargazers.
and stargazers folder is having this files and folders.
files/
layouts/
layouts/main.php
files/main_style.php
files/theme/
files/theme/main_style.css
files/theme/*.png
I have tried all path location, but was not able to apply the theme, may be missing something silly here.
Yii2 advanced template does not have #app this namespace by default, should you change to #frontend?
'view' => [
'theme' => [
'pathMap' => ['#frontend/views' => '#frontend/themes/stargazers'],
'baseUrl' => '#frontend/themes/stargazers',
],
],
Which one is better to set directory folder for global usage?
Below are set to yii2 web config.
'aliases' => [
'#uploads' => 'uploads/csv',
],
Or in
'params' => [
'adminEmail' => 'admin#example.com',
'uploadCsv' => 'uploads/csv/',
];
If I am using the Yii Advanced template I prefer using the alias option.For the Yii basic template any will be fine.
Example: in the common/config/bootstrap.php of Advanced template
Yii::setAlias('#uploads', dirname(__DIR__) . '/uploads/csv');
I am using the Yii2 Framework and I am translating all texts of buttons, labels, messages, etc.
Then I read this article http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-tutorial-i18n.html that shows how to do it automatically but I don't understand it.
I want to translate to Spanish from Argentina: es-AR or at least to any Spanish.
So I think I need to change from en-US to es-AR but I would like to know which files should I change.
Also I am using the great Gii code generator where I can see a checkbox called Enable I18N.
I watched these files but I am not sure if I am looking the right files:
vendor/yiisoft/yii2/base/Application.php
vendor/yiisoft/yii2/i18n/I18N.php
common/config/main-local.php
Add language propery and i18n component in application config. For advanced application template in common/config/main.php
return [
'language' => 'es-AR',
...
'components' => [
...
'i18n' => [
'translations' => [
'app*' => [
'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
'basePath' => '#app/messages',
],
],
],
...
],
]
Use Yii::t() for all user messages (model labels, views, error messages etc).
echo \Yii::t('app', 'Friend');
Create directory messages/es-AR. Create file app.php in this directory and add translations
return [
'Friend' => 'Amigo',
'Girl' => 'Сhica',
...
];
Try to look into the official documentation, it is best tutorial for you. http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-tutorial-i18n.html
Also, look at this answer yii2 basic multiple language
You can change default language by changing 'language' parameter of your main configuration file. Like this:
return
[
// set target language to be English
'language' => 'en-US',
]
Where instead 'en-US' you must to set needed locale code, e.g. 'es-AR'
I am working on yii2 framework.This is new framework for me. I want to setup multiple language. I tried some way but didn't got success. Can anyone please suggest me simplest way ? What should i have to do ?
I am using this reference link
http://techisworld.com/working-with-multiple-languages-app-in-yii2-framework-using-i18n-system.html
1- For dynamic content (coming from database) I usually use this:
webvimark/multilanguage
It is very easy and isolated from your app DB tables structure and code, that gives flexibility in adding/removing languages at the long term.
2- For static content (words inside the markup) in frontend as an example:
add the lines in your frontend/config/main.php file,
'i18n' => [
'translations' => [
'app*' => [
'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
'basePath' => '#app/messages',
'sourceLanguage' => 'en_US',
'fileMap' => [
'app' => 'app.php'
],
],
],
],
Put you translation file app.php file inside /frontend/messages, as any Yii translation file it returns an array of translations in a key-value pairs.
Then you can translate your static content using:
Yii::t('app', 'text to be translated')
Using the config.php always_load configuration, how does one load a language file from a package?
All of the fuelphp documentation alludes to being able to do this, but only shows the syntax for loading from a module.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
fuel/app/config/config.php
'always_load' => [
'language' => [
// loads fuel/app/lang/en/login.php into login group
'login',
],
],
fuel/app/config/production/config.php
'always_load' => [
'language' => [
// override /config/config.php with contents from
// /fuel/packages/pkg/lang/en/login.php
'lang_file_from_package' => 'login',
],
],
Packages are core extensions, which means it will merge the contents of the files found in app and in the package.
As such, there is no method to define you want to load it from the package only, other then by specifying a fully qualified pathname, which will always load just that file.
