I succeeded by doing the following for overriding the class function which is responsible for the part i want to change.
If you want to change the output of the login form shown by amnah/yii2-user extension, you have to do the following 3 steps.
[list=1]
[*]Create a new controller file app\controllers\user\DefaultController.php in which you redirect to a custom form template view file by overriding actionLogin() in a custom class overriding the amnah class.
<?php
namespace app\controllers\user;
use Yii;
use amnah\yii2\user\controllers\DefaultController as BaseDefaultController;
/**
* Custom Default controller for User module
*/
class DefaultController extends BaseDefaultController
{
/**
* Display login page
*/
public function actionLogin()
{
/** @var \amnah\yii2\user\models\forms\LoginForm $model */
$model = $this->module->model("LoginForm");
// load post data and login
$post = Yii::$app->request->post();
if ($model->load($post) && $model->validate()) {
$returnUrl = $this->performLogin($model->getUser(), $model->rememberMe);
return $this->redirect($returnUrl);
}
return $this->render('//user/login', compact("model"));
}
}
[*]After creating this overriding class and function, you have to add it to the controller map in app/config/web.php
'modules' => [
'user' => [
'class' => 'amnah\yii2\user\Module',
'controllerMap' => [
'default' => 'app\controllers\user\DefaultController'
],
],
[*]Last part is the creation of the view template file in app/views/user/login.php without "You may login with neo/neo." which I want to remove from the original code coming from amnah/yii2-user extension.
<?php
use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\widgets\ActiveForm;
/**
* @var yii\web\View $this
* @var yii\widgets\ActiveForm $form
* @var amnah\yii2\user\models\forms\LoginForm $model
*/
$this->title = Yii::t('user', 'Login');
$this->params['breadcrumbs'][] = $this->title;
?>
<div class="user-default-login">
<h1><?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></h1>
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
'id' => 'login-form',
'options' => ['class' => 'form-horizontal'],
'fieldConfig' => [
'template' => "{label}\n<div class=\"col-lg-3\">{input}</div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-7\">{error}</div>",
'labelOptions' => ['class' => 'col-lg-2 control-label'],
],
]); ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'email') ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'password')->passwordInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'rememberMe', [
'template' => "{label}<div class=\"col-lg-offset-2 col-lg-3\">{input}</div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-7\">{error}</div>",
])->checkbox() ?>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-offset-2 col-lg-10">
<?= Html::submitButton(Yii::t('user', 'Login'), ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) ?>
<br/><br/>
<?= Html::a(Yii::t("user", "Register"), ["/user/register"]) ?> /
<?= Html::a(Yii::t("user", "Forgot password") . "?", ["/user/forgot"]) ?> /
<?= Html::a(Yii::t("user", "Resend confirmation email"), ["/user/resend"]) ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
<?php if (Yii::$app->get("authClientCollection", false)): ?>
<div class="col-lg-offset-2 col-lg-10">
<?= yii\authclient\widgets\AuthChoice::widget([
'baseAuthUrl' => ['/user/auth/login']
]) ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
