Requirements ¶

That widgets are designed to work in form with an active model, which is inherited from yii\db\ActiveRecord.

Single mode ¶

To use this mode, don't set languageModel. That will be null.

Multilanguage mode ¶

All fields will be with a language postfix:

title_en

description_en

title_ru

description_ru, e t. c.

For this mode it's necessary to have Language model with some of languages records.

Example:

$form = ActiveForm::begin();

echo Fields::widget([
    'fields' => [
        [
            'name' => 'title',
            'type' => FieldType::FIELD_TYPE_TEXT,
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'description',
            'type' => FieldType::FIELD_TYPE_CKEDITOR_ADMIN,
            'preset' => 'full',
            'options' => [
                'filebrowserBrowseUrl' => '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html',
                'filebrowserImageBrowseUrl' => '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?type=Images',
                'filebrowserUploadUrl' => '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files',
                'filebrowserImageUploadUrl' => '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images',
                'filebrowserWindowWidth' => '1000',
                'filebrowserWindowHeight' => '700',
            ]
        ],
    ],
    'model'         => $model,
    'form'          => $form,
    'languageModel' => new Language()
