Upload files in Yii2 with MongoDb and GridFs

Created 12 years ago by edoardo849 edoardo849, updated 6 years ago by pceuropa pceuropa. 4 comments

Uploading files in a webapp can be extremely tricky and sometimes the quickest way to do it is to store the file directly in the webserver or into a DNS (like Amazon S3) and then to save the link and the metadata inside a table in the DB. The thing is that you'll have to deal with file permissions, server storage, file management and so on (which is perfectly fine, by the way).

Auto-update denormalized attributes with MongoDb and Yii2

Created 12 years ago by edoardo849 edoardo849, updated 12 years ago by CeBe CeBe. 0 comments

You have different collections in MongoDb with de-normalized attributes. As you may know, due to its not-join nature, MongoDb tends to encourage repetition of the same value in different collections (de-normalization). In this MongoDb is opposed to a more SQL-like approach where you usually reference only the ID of the value with a foreign key.

Created 12 years ago by Kartik V Kartik V, updated 12 years ago by Kartik V Kartik V. 0 comments
  • Running a composer update does not fetch any new packages (even though the source is updated)
  • A specific vendor package never gets updated
  • Facing on and off problems when fetching packages while performing composer update.
  • You ran a composer update earlier, but it was partially done, before you lost network connectivity, and you cannot refresh packages anymore.

Overcoming removal of client helpers (e.g. ajaxLink) and ClientScript in Yii 2.0

Created 12 years ago by Kartik V Kartik V, updated 12 years ago by Kartik V Kartik V. 2 comments

Alternatively, inline assets (JS/CSS) can be registered at runtime from within the View. For example you can clearly simulate the ajaxLink feature using a inline javascript. Its however recommended if you can merge where possible, client code (JS/CSS) into separate JS/CSS files and loaded through the AssetBundle. Note there is no more need of a CClientScript anymore:
