Very confused newbie

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hi Yii,

I found a simple guide online on how to install Yii2 and create a simple database app. I installed Yii2 basic into the web folder of EasyPHP having downloaded the .tgz file. After a couple of configuration issues, I got the message:

"Congratulations! You have successfully created your Yii-powered application."

Next, I created the simple dB with tbl_users in it and modified the config. to access the dB. I accessed Gii through localhost/yii/web/index.php?r=gii, selected ‘Model Generator’ and managed to create the model ‘TblUser’. So far, so good.

Now, what do I enter into the CRUD generator, etc, so I can view my dB’s records? I know this should be blinding obvious, but I can’t find a single. clear tutorial on how to do this.

Cheers

Gary

DId you try the Definitive Guide to Yii ?

Here is the Gii part, with examples for model and CRUD - http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-gii.html#generating-crud

Hi Maurizio,

Thanks for the fast reply. I have been through that guide. The only issue I had was when entering the CRUD generator view path. When I entered the path, all I got (on preview) was an error message so I had to generate with that box empty.

When I entered 127.0.0.1/yii/web/index.php?r=TblUser/index, I got a "Not Found (#404)" error message.

I installed Yii in a subdirectory off of EasyPHP’s web root. Is that OK?

Regards

Gary

Try with this url, if your controller name is TblUserController.php


127.0.0.1/yii/web/index.php?r=tbl-user/index

Or UserController.php, then remove the tbl from url


127.0.0.1/yii/web/index.php?r=user/index

Hi Selvakumar,

You genius! It worked. I can now view the entries and use their CRUD icons to edit, delete, etc. OK, now to figure out how to make a full application.

Many Thanks

Gary

First familiarize yourself with framework, then try to do something concrete.

Here are few tutorials:

Yii project structure

How to configure your Yii application

Working with Gii

How to login user from DB (make login functionality)
