The guide shows it very clear how to enable authentication for a given user: https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/2.0/en/security-authentication

In my application on home page user login section in banner.
Inside page user login section in right side.
i have issue how we write login form script.

do you mean file main.php in layout folder?

6

yes as well as other page in right column

there are many themes to this,

  1. you could create a separate view for login form and include it in every view file.
  2. create the forum and layout/main.php file and it will be the same across your views.

Thanks for reply can you tell me how we can include in yii2

in your view file you can call <?= $this->render("path/to/the/file", ['data' => 'goes here']); ?>

strange why u need login page in every page? why not just create a link login? and redirect user to login page? so u can easy make role of acces page, if u insist just use modal

it’s client requirement.

make sure the form is pointing to the right controller/action.

new ActiveForm([
// ...
'action' => 'action/url/goes/here', // you can also make use of the Url::to helper
// ...
]);

actually there is already example in yii2 view/layouts/main.php, if u look at logout button its actually a form and always in every page. u can just modify it.
here something like this

    Html::beginForm(['/site/login'], 'post')
    Html::submitButton(
        'Login',
        ['class' => 'btn btn-link logout']
    )
    Html::endForm()

u jut need to add input username and password and change to site/login
