Yii2 Wordpress
Yii2 Wordpress is a component for Yii2 framework designed for integration with Wordpress CMS via XML-RPC API., (*2)
This component is built on top of Wordpress XML-RPC PHP Client by Hieu Le Trung., (*3)
, (*4)
Requirements
- Yii 2.0
- PHP 5.4
- PHP extension XML-RPC
Installation
The preferred way to install this extension is through Composer., (*5)
Either run, (*6)
php composer.phar require monitorbacklinks/yii2-wordpress "dev-master", (*7)
or add, (*8)
"monitorbacklinks/yii2-wordpress": "dev-master", (*9)
to the require section of your composer.json file., (*10)
Usage
Component creation
In order to use this extension, first thing you need to do is to create a blog (you can change the name if you want)
component and configure it. Here is the example of minimal configuration (in your config/main.php):, (*11)
'components' => [
...
'blog' => [
'class' => '\monitorbacklinks\yii2wp\Wordpress',
'endpoint' => 'http://example.com/xmlrpc.php',
'username' => 'demo',
'password' => 'demo'
]
...
]
First API request
When component is configured, you can start making requests to your Wordpress site., (*12)
For example, get ten latest published posts. Select guid, post_title and post_content fields only:, (*13)
$blogPosts = Yii::$app->blog->getPosts([
'post_status' => 'publish',
'number' => 10
], ['guid', 'post_title', 'post_content']);
Or create a new post with title "New post" and content "Hello world!":, (*14)
$postID = Yii::$app->blog->newPost('New post', 'Hello world!');
Caching request results
Making API calls to an external application means delays.
If you don't want your users to wait for a Wordpress response each time, caching is a right thing to do:, (*15)
// The user profile will be fetched from cache if available.
// If not, the query will be made against XML-RPC API and cached for use next time.
$profile = Yii::$app->blog->cache(function (Wordpress $blog) {
return $blog->getProfile();
});
In case, if you need something more complex, you can disable caching for some requests:, (*16)
$blogPosts = Yii::$app->blog->cache(function (Wordpress $blog) {
// ... queries that use query cache ...
return $blog->noCache(function (Wordpress $blog) {
// this query will not use query cache
return $blog->getPosts();
});
});
Caching will work for data retrieval queries only.
Queries that create, update or delete records will not use caching component., (*17)
