I’m making an extension where you can add tags to… whatever you wanna add tags to.
I’ve got the model, view and assets working but I want to add a Controller so get data from the database.
When I made the piece of code this happened via jquery ajax call, but I can’t figure out how to do this the Yii2 way.
Check how Captcha is done. For this purpose you can use Action.
Seems like you may want to create a module and register it as an yii2-extension (as I see, you need a model, view, assets, and controller).
But how can I use a custom controller like the SiteController r=site/search&input=bladiebla when it’s not in the root/fronted/controllers folder ?
You can either make it a module as Kartik V suggested or make it a standalone action as I’ve suggested. Both will require some lines in application config.
If using a module, you can register it in Yii config and call the module related controllers globally. For example:
'modules' = [
/* yourmod is the name of your module */
'yourmod => [
// your namespaced module class location
'class' => 'vendorname\yourmod\Module',
]
];
Then you can refer the module level controllers globally. For example to refer an actionIndex inside UserController inside your yourmod module.
/yourmod/user/index
You can refer an example on how I have done it for a markdown module extension.
Hi,
If you want, you can create a controller in an extension (although it is not necessarily the best practice).
In your conf:
$config = [
...
'controllerMap' => [
'admin' => 'vendor\myext\controllers\AdminController',
],
...
]
my controller AdminController in vendor/myext :
<?php
namespace vendor\myext\controllers;
use Yii;
use yii\web\Controller;
class AdminController extends Controller {
public function actionIndex (){
$test = 'admin content';
return \Yii::$app->view->renderFile ('@app/vendor/myext/views/admin/index.php',['test'=>$test]);
}
}
you can put your view files in the classic folder view , creating the "admin" folder in the example ; or by defining a specific view file as in the example.
Hi!
I want to thank the Yii community, to help me learning this amazing framework, by contribute with a GPT extension, super easy to use. Today was my day, and I made my first demo extension.
I have a similar scenario. In my gptagent7 extension:
I have a controller rdng\gptagent7\controllers\ChatController and a widget rdng\gptagent7\widgets\ChatBot. In my ChatBot widget I got this piece of code:
// Button
$return .= Html::a('test', ['chat/chat']);
$return .= Html::button($this->buttonTitle, ['onclick' => "
let question = $('#chatInput').val();
$.ajax({
type :'post',
cache : false,
data : {
question: question,
},
url : '".Url::to(['/chat/chat'])."',
success : function(response) {
$('#messages').html(response);
},
error : function(response) {
alert(response);
}
});
return false;
", 'class' => $this->buttonClass]);
Of course the ChatBot lives inside a Yii2 app.
I try the standard approach I’m used to when doing ajax calls i.e. Url::to('/chat/chat'), but this calls the “main” app’s controller.
What I must do, to call in my widget the ChatWidget the actionChat()?
I found some example, but I don’t know if this is correct approach, thus I don’t know how to replace Url::to(…) with this request:
use yii\helpers\Url;
use yii\httpclient\Client;
// ...
// Generate the URL for the extension's controller action
$url = Url::to(['/my-extension/my-action']); // Adjust the route accordingly
// Create an HTTP client instance
$client = new Client();
// Make a POST request to the extension's controller action
$response = $client->createRequest()
->setMethod('POST')
->setUrl($url)
->send();
// Check the response
if ($response->isOk) {
// Action was successfully called
$content = $response->content;
// Further processing...
} else {
// Error handling
echo 'Error: ' . $response->statusCode;
}
If there is a simpler way to do it, please help me.
Thanks and have a nice day!
