Yii2 Blog MongoDB

It's a multi-language blog extension that uses Mongodb that gives you an awesome performance., _(*1)

Check this tutorial that I like, in order to know more about Mongodb., _(*2)

Installation

• You have to have Mongodb up and running, so download it from here.
• Also you have to have Mongodb PHP driver installed.

And you run Mongodb through the following command:, _(*3)

mongod --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log

• And you setup the extension through the composer:, _(*4)

  composer require devmustafa/yii2-blog-mongodb, _(*5)

Or add the following line in your composer.json:, _(*6)

"devmustafa/yii2-blog-mongodb": "*"

Configuration

1. In your common config file add the following db component:, _(*7)

   ...
   'components' => [
       ...
       'mongodb' => [
           'class' => '\yii\mongodb\Connection',
           'dsn' => 'mongodb://127.0.0.1/DB_MONGO_NAME', // local
           // 'dsn' => 'mongodb://DB_MONGO_USERNAME:DB_MONGO_PASSWORD@DB_MONGO_HOST/DB_MONGO_NAME, // remote
       ],
       ...
   ],
   ...

2. In your frontend config file add the following module:, _(*8)

   ...
   'modules' => [
       ...
       'blog' => [
           'id' => 'blog',
           'class' => devmustafa\blog\modules\frontend\Module::className(),
           'used_languages' => ['en', 'ar'], // list of languages used
           'default_language' => 'en', // default language
           'listing_size' => 10, // default size of listing page
           'rules' => [ // setup rules for frontend routes
               // change key not value
               'posts' => '/post',
               'post/<slug>' => '/post/single',
               'category/<slug>' => '/post/category', // posts related to a specific category
           ]
       ],
       ...
   ]
   ...

3. In your backend config file add the following module:, _(*9)

   ...
   'modules' => [
       ...
       'blog' => [
           'id' => 'blog',
           'class' => devmustafa\blog\modules\backend\Module::className(),
           'upload_url' => 'http://example.com/uploads', // full upload url
           'upload_directory' => '/full/path/to/uploads/dir', // full upload directory
           'used_languages' => ['en', 'ar'], // list of languages used
           'default_language' => 'en', // default language
       ],
       ...
   ]
   ...

Note:

default_language must be one of your used_languages array, and if you would like to use a dynamic language in your app, so leave it empty:, _(*10)

'default_language' => '', // empty (don't remove)

In this case the extension reading the value of Yii::$app->langauge and it should be one of your defined used_languages array., _(*11)

Usage

1. Go to your backend url to add some posts/authors/categories:, _(*12)

   • /blog/post
   • /blog/author
   • /blog/category

2. Then you check it out on your frontend:, _(*13)
