I’ve got a Yii2 project with the advanced template that I’d like to theme. Since my themes might be used in either front or backend, I thought it might be best to throw them in the “common” area rather than duplicating them in both frontend and backend. So I did that and made the following setting in frontend/config/main.php:
However, when I try this out, I get the following error message:
exception 'yii\base\UnknownPropertyException' with message 'Setting unknown property: yii\web\View::pathMap'
I know that I must have missed something as I’m struggling to understand the new Yii which, despite the struggles, I’m coming to to like and enjoy every day that I work with it. However, this one’s got me stumped. I’ve check both the API docs and code, and pathMap is definitely there.
Thanks a million. I completely forgot the ‘theme’ => [] part. I was focusing so much on how to work out referncing items stored in common from the frontend part of the app that I totally missed it.
