Installation

If you can't use composer download and unpack module to /vendor/asbsoft/yii2module/news_1b_160430/ Such folder help system to find module automatically. (Suppose that system have such alias: Yii::setAlias('@asb/yii2/modules', '@vendor/asbsoft/yii2module');)
• Apply module's migrations (once).
• Create in your Yii2-application new module .../modules/news/Module.php contains php namespace {APP}\modules\news; // {APP} may be backend/frontend/app/project or your own namespace prefix class Module extends \asb\yii2\modules\news_1b_160430\Module {} in proper place: @app/modules/news/ or @project/modules/news/ or @backend/modules/news/ and @backend/modules/news/ together (for advanced Yii2-application) In config/config.php file in this/these place(s) you have to redefine 'routesConfig' initially defined in asbsoft/news_1b_160430/config/config.php. Attention For advanced Yii2-application you will have two such news-modules but with different configs contain:
  • for backend 'routesConfig' => { 'main' => false, ... }
  • for frontend 'routesConfig' => { 'admin' => false, ... }
• Add such module(s) to your system's config(s).

Note

Namespace like ...\news_1b_160430 is no problem for routing because UniModule (used as parent module) has mechanism for create tuning routes from config/routes-...-files. But if you project has simple routes building by common rules such 'module:\w+/controller:\w+/action:\w+/param:\w+' => '//', you can create new module @app/modules/news contains Module.php only with code class Module extends \asb\yii2\modules\news_1b_160430\Module {} New module extends all features from this module(package). Append this new module (not news_1b_160430) to system config 'modules' array., _(*5)
