REQUIREMENTS

The minimum requirement by this application template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0., _(*5)

INSTALLATION

Install via Composer

If you do not have Composer, you may install it by following the instructions at getcomposer.org., _(*6)

You can then install the application using the following command:, _(*7)

php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.1.2" php
composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist dezmont765/yii2-rbac-advanced-template

GETTING STARTED

After you install the application, you have to conduct the following steps to initialize the installed application. You only need to do these once for all., _(*8)

1. Run command php init to initialize the application with a specific environment.
2. Create a new database and adjust the components['db'] configuration in common/config/common-local.php accordingly.
3. Apply migrations with console command: php yii migrate. This will create tables needed for the application to work;
4. Run command php yii rbac/init to install necessary RBAC rules in DB
5. Set document roots of your Web server:

• for frontend /path/to/yii-application/frontend/web/ and using the URL http://frontend/
• for backend /path/to/yii-application/backend/web/ and using the URL http://backend/

If you want to use the application you'll need to register in the system using frontend user interface. You can register into the system using any valid email address and any password., _(*9)

There are 3 types of users available for you in system: super_admin, admin and user. This types of users can be simply changed by editing the role field in user table, or via admin user interface in backend., _(*10)

When you register the first user in the system, his role is set to user by default. Notice that user have no access to backend, so you'll have to change his role to admin or super_admin in the DB manually. Once, you enter the backend, you will see a simple but powerful user-management page where you can CRUD users, as you wish.Also there you can find Manage Email Templates page, where you can create your own email templates, and then simply use it, like static email templates:, _(*11)

Yii:$app->mailer->composer('your_email_template_name',$params) .

See "email-verification" template for example ., _(*12)
