Yii 2.0 - Confusing Installation Instructions For Jui Extensions

Hi all!

Regarding this page:

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/ext-jui-index.html

Because I don’t have ‘Composer’, I have just added the mentioned line to the composer.json file. But this did not help.

After some tries, I have found the extensions.php file in the /vendor/yiisoft folder. I just extended this file with the yii2-jui folder.




  'yiisoft/yii2-jui' =>

  array (

    'name' => 'yiisoft/yii2-jui',

    'version' => '2.0.0.0-beta',

    'alias' =>

    array (

      '@yii/jui' => $vendorDir . '/yiisoft/yii2-jui',

    ),

  ),



Then the next problem… The example code mentioned here did not work, because it must be \yii\jui\Accordion in this case:

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-jui-accordion.html

And another problem of the manual is that nowhere is mentioned that I first have to get this extension from for example github.com/yiisoft/yii2/tree/master/extensions

After all these steps it worked fine. At least I can see the accordion ;)

Was the way how I did it totally wrong and therefore the reason, why it did not work easily?

Or was there a big misunderstanding regarding the documentation?

If not, it would be good, if the documentation could be updated accordingly.

Yes, you did all the job Composer should automate manually. I highly recommend to install it, will save you lots of time.
