I wrote about this on my blog, but wanted to post it here too.

Personalmente trovo che la versione "portable" sia molto più semplice da aggiornare, ed io tengo sempre costantemente aggiornato TUTTO il parco software relativo al mio webserver.

Here's a possible implementation for MongoDb of the RBAC standard. Create a class "MongoDbManager" in `common\components and modify your params.php` file like this:

• 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.

Ok, you have installed a Yii 2 basic or advanced app for the first time and completed the post install steps. You have picked up a few extensions to install for the first time as well. You would already see a composer.lock file in your application root folder.

The yii2-field-range extension enables you to easily setup ActiveField range fields with Bootstrap styling. You basically can setup two attributes joined together like a single field with combined validation error block.

I could make this work following same useful tips from this post.

This wiki will explain how you can use the Field range extension with multiple Bootstrap form layouts (vertical or horizontal). You maybe aware, that the yii2-field-range extension enables you to easily setup ActiveField range fields with Bootstrap styling. You basically can setup two attributes joined together like a single field with combined validation error block.

Implementing a role based access control is a very easy process and you can even load your roles from the database if you want.

A Yii Framework 2 component for using assets in different environments (Local/CDNs)

I just chased my tail around for a bit today. I got lost with setting the status of all inputs, and banging my head on why the "validate" function just wasn't working.

In Yii 1.x, there was a built in widget CStarRating based on the jquery star rating plugin. There exists no prebuilt solution in Yii2, however the same concepts can be extended using any jquery plugin.

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:

Note the tag {{homeUrl}} will be dynamically replaced at runtime.

The tips here are for advanced usages of composer and its assumed you have read about using composer and have a knowledge of your vendor packages to be updated. Let's consider, you want to update only one specific yii2 vendor library, without updating all the other extension packages?
