The technique places the controller, model, and views in a protected/backend directory. The tutorial doesn’t explain the details of using this… I’m new so its not obvious to me. First I needed a way to access the controller. So I added a controllerMap entry. That got me past that only to have the error where the model class was not found. So I added a import for application.backend.models. Now I have the error where the index view is not found.
So what is the way to handle this? There must be a better way. Seems like I should create a module for this instead?
Well I missed the link at the top of the referenced post so I now have more info but I still have a problem. It acts like the standard Controller is being used instead of the one for backend.
My backend.php script is:
<?php
// change the following paths if necessary
$yii=dirname(__FILE__).'/../framework/yii.php';
$config=dirname(__FILE__).'/protected/backend/config/main.php';
// remove the following lines when in production mode
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG',true);
// specify how many levels of call stack should be shown in each log message
defined('YII_TRACE_LEVEL') or define('YII_TRACE_LEVEL',3);
require_once($yii);
Yii::createWebApplication($config)->run();
Help? Anyone? I think I had the URL wrong before and the route defaulted to the frontend. Using: http://host/backend.php?r=config results in
Page Not Found
Unable to resolve the request "config".
Another thing, regardless of what I put in backend.php, I can’t seem to affect its execution. Writing to the log, running die() don’t do anything. Yet if I move that file out of the way I definitely get a file not found error so it is being referenced.
Ah the dangers of cut & paste. The tutorial drops off the <?php tag. So did I when I copied it! Can’t believe it took me so long to sort this out. Odd that nothing showed in the logs for this.
