News Module

The news module will provided you a basic news system with categories and tags.

Installation

For the installation of modules Composer is required.

composer require luyadev/luya-module-news:~1.0.0

'modules' => [
    // ...
    'news' => [
    	'class' => 'luya\news\frontend\Module',
    	'useAppViewPath' => false, // When enabled the views will be looked up in the @app/views folder, otherwise the views shipped with the module will be used.
    ],
    'newsadmin' => 'luya\news\admin\Module',
]

Initialization

After successfully installation and configuration run the migrate, import and setup command to initialize the module in your project.

1.) Migrate your database.

./vendor/bin/luya migrate

2.) Import the module and migrations into your LUYA project.

./vendor/bin/luya import

After adding the persmissions to your group you will be able to edit and add new news articles.

Example Views

As the module will try to render a view for the news overview, here is what this could look like this in a very basic way:

views/news/default/index.php

<?php
use yii\widgets\LinkPager;

/* @var $this \luya\web\View */
/* @var $provider \yii\data\ActiveDataProvider */
?>
<h2>Latest News Articles</h2>
<?php foreach($provider->models as $item): ?>
    <?php /* @var $item \luya\news\models\Article */ ?>
    <pre>
        <?php print_r($item->toArray()); ?>
    </pre>
    <p>
        <a href="<?= $item->detailUrl; ?>">News Detail Link</a>
    </p>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?= LinkPager::widget(['pagination' => $provider->pagination]); ?>

views/news/default/detail.php

<?php
/* @var $this \luya\web\View */
/* @var $model \luya\news\models\Article */
?>
<h1><?= $model->title; ?></h1>
<pre>
<?php print_r($model->toArray()); ?>
</pre>

The above examples will just dump all the data from the model active records.
