Usage in frontend

News

1. Add new rules to your urlManager. You can do it in one of your Bootstrap classes

<?php
use mrstroz\wavecms\news\models\News;
use Yii;
// ...
//Parse request to set language before run ActiveRecord::find()
Yii::$app->urlManager->parseRequest(Yii::$app->request);

/** @var Settings $settings */
$settings = Yii::$app->settings;
$link = $settings->get('NewsSettings_' . Yii::$app->language, 'overview_link');

$model = Yii::createObject(News::class);

Yii::$app->getUrlManager()->addRules([
    $link => 'news/index'
]);

$news = $model::find()->select(['link'])->byAllCriteria()->byType(['news'])->column();

if ($news) {
    Yii::$app->getUrlManager()->addRules([
        $link . '/<link:(' . implode('|', $news) . ')>' => 'news/detail'
    ]);
}

1. Get list of news on overview page

<?php

use mrstroz\wavecms\news\models\News;
use Yii;
use yii\data\Pagination;

public function actionIndex() {
    /** @var Settings $settings */
    $settings = Yii::$app->settings;
    $query = News::find()->byAllCriteria()->byType('news')->orderBy('create_date DESC');
    $count = $query->count();

    $pagination = new Pagination([
        'totalCount' => $count,
        'pageSize' => $settings->get('NewsSettings', 'news_on_page')
    ]);

    $news = $query->offset($pagination->offset)
        ->limit($pagination->limit)
        ->all();

    return $this->render('index', [
        'news' => $news,
        'pagination' => $pagination
    ]);
}

1. Display news in view 'index.php'

<?php
use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\widgets\LinkPager;

/** @var \mrstroz\wavecms\news\models\News[] $news */
/** @var \yii\data\Pagination $pagination */

/** @var \yii2mod\settings\components\Settings $settings */
$settings = Yii::$app->settings;
$link = $settings->get('NewsSettings_' . Yii::$app->language, 'overview_link');

if ($news) {
    foreach ($news as $oneNews) {
        echo Html::a($oneNews->title, [$link . '/' . $oneNews->link]);
        echo '<br />';
    }
}

echo LinkPager::widget([
    'pagination' => $pagination,
]);

1. Get requested news by link in detail action

<?php
use mrstroz\wavecms\news\models\News;
// ...
public function actionDetail($link)
{
    $news = News::find()->getByLink($link)->one();

    return $this->render('detail', [
        'news' => $news
    ]);
}

Meta tags

Add news to sitemap

According to Sitemap module, we need to add behaviour to our AR model and then add model to sitemap module configuration (see frontend/config/main.php), _(*14)

use himiklab\sitemap\behaviors\SitemapBehavior;

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        'sitemap' => [
            'class' => SitemapBehavior::className(),
            'scope' => function ($model) {
                /** @var \yii\db\ActiveQuery $model */
                $model->select(['url', 'lastmod']);
                $model->andWhere(['is_deleted' => 0]);
            },
            'dataClosure' => function ($model) {
                /** @var self $model */
                return [
                    'loc' => Url::to($model->url, true),
                    'lastmod' => strtotime($model->lastmod),
                    'changefreq' => SitemapBehavior::CHANGEFREQ_DAILY,
                    'priority' => 0.8
                ];
            }
        ],
    ];
}
