Yii 2.0 General Discussions

hi all

For some reasons, my composer doesn’t work.I would like to manually install some extensions. how can I do. I checked documentation but I am not getting an idea

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-structure-extensions.html

I prefer to add manually. I just downloaded and copied extension to vendor directory

Should I add in following files ?

1.autoload_namespaces.php

2.autoload_files.php

what are the files I need to include path ?

You are honestly just postponing the one thing that you really need to do: fix your Composer installation.

What’s wrong with it?

I use yii 2.03. When I try to install an extension it shows that some plugin 1.0.0 it is required for my version .I run composer using --no-plugins options but still it shows. When I try to install 1.0.0 version.

it shows

yiisoft/yii2-composer 2.0.3 requires composer-plugin-api 1.0.0 -> no match ing package found.

I updated with’ composerglobal require “fxp/composer-asset-plugin:*” ’ but its run smoothly but when I run

C:\xampp\htdocs\opalwp\portal>composer require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-jui "*

" --no-plugins

it shows the same error

yiisoft/yii2-composer 2.0.3 requires composer-plugin-api 1.0.0 -> no match ing package found.

I tried

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0-beta3"

biut it shows package not available.

Okay, there are several things that you can do.


composer self-update

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:^1.2.0" --no-plugins

And then, in your project, upgrade Yii:


composer require "yiisoft/yii2:~2.0.10" --update-with-dependencies

See the upgrade guide

If that fails too, then you can remove the global Composer installation, including the configuration file.

Or remove the ‘vendor’ directory and the ‘composer.lock’ in your project.

Or both.

And require the composer asset plugin globally.

And run composer install locally (project).

I am sorry, but yes: sometimes Composer borks itself…

Most of the time, though, you simply would not go without it - because it makes PHP development so much more enjoyable.

now when i run my application it shows

Call to undefined method yii\helpers\Url::baseWebDir()

$baseWebDir = Url::baseWebDir()

There’s no such method in the framework and there never was one.
