Notes

Installation

Get it via composer:

composer.phar require phundament/gii-template-collection

or

Download latest release To use it, simply extract the content of the archive into your application extensions/ directory.

Setup

  1. Configure the templates in the generatorPaths section of the gii configuration inside your application configuration:

    'gii'=>array(
        'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',
        'password'=>'<your gii password>',
        'generatorPaths'=>array(
            'vendor.phundament.gii-template-collection',   
        ),
    ),
    

    After that, the new generators of gtc should be available in your Gii index page.

  2. The last step is to add some gtc components to your import path so they can be found by the application:

     // autoloading model and component classes
     'import'=>array(
     	// relation widget and save behavior
     	'vendor.phundament.gii-template-collection.components.*', 
     ),
    
  3. For Debugging Information plz add the log under yours config console

    'components' => array(
        'log'      => array(
            'class'  => 'CLogRouter',
            'routes' => array(
                // file logging
                array(
                    'class'   => 'CFileLogRoute',
                    'logFile' => 'console.log',
                    'levels'  => 'error, warning, info, trace',
                    'enabled' => true,
                ),
            ),
        ),
    ),

AuthItems

Controller actions and UI buttons follow these checkAccess rules:

From 0.13.0 on the a Controller.SimpleUi item was added by default, which hides UI elements, when this item is assigned to the current user.

Note: An admin (superuser) always sees the full UI.

Development

Code Providers

The FullCrudCode is able to access providers from a provider-queue to render fields, labels, etc. You can call a provider from your template with, eg.:

$this->provider()->generateColumn($this->modelClass, $column)

FullCrudCode will walk the provider queue until it finds a provider which has the requested method AND which returns not null. This is on of the major differences compared to a behavior.

Example

Render a populated dropdown, if the model contains and optsColumnName() method.

public function generateActiveField($model, $column)
{
    $func = "opts".str_replace("_","",$column->name);
    if (method_exists($model, $func)) {
        return "echo \$form->dropDownList(\$model,'{$column->name}',{$model}::{$func}());";
    }
}

Coding Standards

GTC is using <?=""?> Bobsled Coding Style.

  • Write PHP code to be generated wrapped in short-open-echo tags and double quotes
<?=
"<?php 
    ...code... 
?>"
?>
  • Use bobsled only for generating PHP code (in the gtc templates), DO NOT use short open tags in outputted code (yet)
  • Use brackets {} to insert variables for generated code
  • Use a provider to generate fields, labels, relations and columns.
  • Follow guidelines for-good schema design from the Yii Wiki
  • Use a UNIQUE index over both of your foreign keys in your MANY_MANY tables

Examples

Known Problems and Limitations

  • gtc does not support composite primary keys

History

This project has been originally created by thyseus back in 2010.

To quote from the original project page:

Please enjoy this extension and let us collect as many Templates as possible for other people to enjoy. (haml, smarty, dwoo, twig, ...)

In 2011 schmunk create the currently active fork of the project from revision 186 of the Google Code repository.

While there has been much, much, much, … code added over the time. At the end of July 2013 gtc was completely refurbished.
