Great way to manage rewrite paths for your website!
The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Either run
php composer.phar require --prefer-source "c006/yii2-alias-url" ">=2.1"
or add
"c006/yii2-alias-url": ">=2.1"
to the require section of your composer.json file.
Next check that a database connection is setup
Run this to setup the tables.
$ yii migrate --migrationPath=@vendor/c006/yii2-alias-url/migrations
or -- if using yii2-console, easy to use migration alternative
$ yii migrate2 m000000_000000_c006_url
Basic "config/web.php"
Advanced "config/main.php"
'components' => [
...
...
...
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => FALSE,
'showScriptName' => FALSE,
],
],
'modules' => [
...
...
...
'alias' => [
'class' => 'c006\url\Module',
'is_frontend' => {TRUE/FALSE}
],
],
Do not use .htaccess
**Use Mod_Rewrite in your host / virtual host file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule (assets|images|css|videos)($|/) - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php$1
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
This goes for frontend and backend if using advanced.
Go to:
/alias
click > create url
public => abc
private => site/about
Now /abc will display site/about
Note private can have a dynamic query string.
public => abc
private => site/about?id=123
