Hello All,
I think I have started something which won’t attract much attention, but that’s my current requirement.
I have tried to merge Yii with OpenCart and so failed miserably.
What I want is to have open cart on the frontend and yii merged with the opencart backend.
To achieve this, I have written the following lines in index.php of opencart (both catalog i.e. root and admin)
// yii code
$server = ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'localhost' || preg_match('/^192.168.15.\d{1,3}$/', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ? 'development' : (($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'mywebsite.com') || ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'www.mywebsite.com') ? 'production' : 'unknown'));
// change the following paths if necessary
$yii = dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../yii/framework/yii.php';
$yii_config = dirname(__FILE__) . '/../protected/config/main.php';
// remove the following lines when in production mode
if ($server == 'development') {
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG', true);
// specify how many levels of call stack should be shown in each log message
defined('YII_TRACE_LEVEL') or define('YII_TRACE_LEVEL', 3);
}
require_once($yii);
Yii::createWebApplication($yii_config);
as you can see, instead of running the app, I just stopped at creating it.
In next step, I edited the not_found.php in catalog/controller/error as
public function index() {
try {
// YII code begins
//header('Location:' . ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'localhost' ? '/mywebsite.com' : '' ) . '/yii.php/' . $_GET['_route_']);
//die();
Yii::app()->run($_GET['_route_']);
// YII code ends
} catch (Exception $e) {
$this->language->load('error/not_found');
$this->document->setTitle($this->language->get('heading_title'));
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = array();
$this->data['breadcrumbs'][] = array(
'text' => $this->language->get('text_home'),
'href' => $this->url->link('common/home'),
'separator' => false
);
if (isset($this->request->get['route'])) {
$this->data['breadcrumbs'][] = array(
'text' => $this->language->get('text_error'),
'href' => $this->url->link($this->request->get['route']),
'separator' => $this->language->get('text_separator')
);
}
$this->data['heading_title'] = $this->language->get('heading_title');
$this->data['text_error'] = $this->language->get('text_error');
$this->data['button_continue'] = $this->language->get('button_continue');
$this->response->addHeader($this->request->server['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] . '/1.1 404 Not Found');
$this->data['continue'] = $this->url->link('common/home');
if (file_exists(DIR_TEMPLATE . $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/error/not_found.tpl')) {
$this->template = $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/error/not_found.tpl';
} else {
$this->template = 'default/template/error/not_found.tpl';
}
$this->children = array(
'common/column_left',
'common/column_right',
'common/content_top',
'common/content_bottom',
'common/footer',
'common/header'
);
$this->response->setOutput($this->render());
}
}
As you can see the committed line
//header('Location:' . ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'localhost' ? '/mywebsite.com' : '' ) . '/yii.php/' . $_GET['_route_']);
which I am using for production server, i.e. redirecting works fine
The problem starts when I commit this line and tries to run any of the following
Yii::app()->run();
or
Yii::app()->run($_GET['_route_']);
or
Yii::app()->runController($_GET['_route_']);
In all of the above case, I found out that basic component files are not loaded in Yii and Yii returns with the exception
Unable to Resolve the {route}
To further explore the problem, I extended the CWebApplication to WWebApplication and over written the createController() function.
What I found is that all of the Routes modules and controllers are loaded, but none of the components are present, and on CWebApplication.php at line 345 it fails on the check
if(class_exists($className,false) && is_subclass_of($className,'CController'))
The problem is, $className is loaded, and so is Controller BUT CController is not loaded and the it says Controller is not a subClass of CController.
In short, when we execute the line
Yii::createWebApplication($config)->run();
everything works fine.
but if we use it other way round, i.e.
Yii::createWebApplication($config);
and later somewhere
Yii::app()->run();
The basic components get lost, and Yii cannot decide which class belongs to which.
How to overcome this problem? Any idea?
I encountered some error when I tried to integrate the apps and at last succesfully integrate the apps with a slight modification. I am no expert in Open Cart / Yii, so I dunno if the modification I made is the best solution or not.
