I am trying to create a package which will collect UIs from various WM packages into one.
I have the core site in pub folder of one package and wanted to use %include% method.
But, if I wanted to use entire URL, it doesn't work. neither using just pathname.
Only what will allow to load the page from another package is relative path to the index.dsp of the package.
%include ../../../anotherPackage/pub/index.dsp%
Problem with this solution is that in case that the anotherPackage/pub/index.dsp contains also some includes locally from the package then they are not loaded because the "cursor" is still pointing to the master package from which I have the anotherPackage/pub/index.dsp included.
Anyone fought with same problem?
Exists there any other way than how to solve it?
Thanks, Reddy

Choices:
create an asset bundle (nicely explained by Ivo Renkema at How do I manage assets in Yii2?). this is what I need if I want to package my code for other use. alas, should I also do this for my own php include library functions? Or should I still stick them into the same php location as my other php files? In any case, if I want to go this route, presumably I would then customize the AppAsset class, included in the template, as explained in http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-structure-assets.html .
stick my files directly into $basePath/web, where $basePath is typically something like /var/www/myapp/ (i.e., as $basePath/html/mine.html [and refer to it simply as href='/html/mine.html'], $basePath/css/mine.css , $basePath/js/mine.js, and $basePath/php/mine.php [and refer to it as $basePath= \Yii::getAlias('#webroot'); require_once('$basepath/php/mine.php') ])?
stick my local files where my php view code sits. the advantage is that the files are close to where I will use them. the disadvantage is that I may litter the view directories not only with php files, but also with my non-asset assets, even though they will be used only by these (my) php files.
it's a beginner's question for the google cache reference. it's about best practice when getting started. I can guess the answer, but we wouldn't want a novice to disseminate bad info.
If you need your CSS and JS files only in one view or one Controller you have 2 choices:
1- Create a asset bundle Here other guide if you need it.
2- Use registerJsFile() from View Class
You can acces from controller using:
Yii::$app->view->registerJsFile('js.path');
(Same with CSS files but using registerCssFile())
With the PHPfiles I always try to convert the code to yii's MVC. If you have a entire library try to add it as a component. Here a usefull guide
i'am trying to use components from another module, but is not working.
Look what i have:
I have my project, its an app to convert files, and its working everything is ok. Now i want to change the interface... for that i cloned a github repository thats is a project with the components that i want to use, and imported it as a module. (should i import as a module or as a project?)
Everything great till now, but when i try to use the components from the module i cant find the classes or even the module...
Any suggestions?
You should add your imported sources as a new module (let's call it B), then you should add a dependency from your original module A to your module B in order to use its code.
See this page on how to configure module dependencies.
I have a project containing a big package "global" of classes which is designed for Web, I need to share these classes with a new mobile project, but when i add them with :
Properties -> Flex Build Path -> Source path -> Add Folder
they start appearing with index [source path] before the package name, and since them Flash Builder start trowing error messages :
"A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'global'."
How can i fix this issue ?
As we've discussed in the comments, I think it would be a better approach to compile your "global" classes into a library (.swc).
You were concerned about loading unnecessary classes: when you link to a library as 'merged', only the classes you use are actually compiled into the main application (and any classes they depend on), so there's no need to worry about that.
As a last argument I also think this is a more flexible approach. A compiled library is easier to reuse and version, so the code can more easily be distributed to other developers on your team.
Rename one of the packages with right click->refactor. Than is should work.
If not you can also try to have your two codes available at the same project, and then you can select which to run in Flash Builder, by right-clicking to that .as or .mxml file, and selecting set as ... (or something like that)
I guess if you will include 'src' fonder instead of 'src/global' that problem will disappear.
In my project there is some common package which gets its dependencies resolved by the UnityContainer which is defined in unity.config file.
There is another custom package which I want to have its own custom UnityContainer in a seperated CustomUnity.config file.
In runtime I want both files to be loaded and when I get the unity section, I want it to contain both UnityContainers.
How can i achieve it?
Thanks!
The UnityContainer.LoadConfiguration method can be called multiple times on the same container. Each time it loads whatever's in that configuration section, but it doesn't remove what was previously in the container - it's additive. If there's a conflict (both sections configure the same type) then last one in wins.
So, the approach would be to use the ConfigurationManager APIs to load your two separate UnityConfigurationSections, and then call LoadConfiguration twice, once for each configuration section. That should be all you have to do.
I wrote a library that lets you write your ioc container configuration in modules. It supports unity but you will have to configure your container in codes instead of using the files. I don't know if will solve your problem, but you can check it out at bootstrapper.codeplex.com
The main problem is: How do i incorporate an appSettings.Config file with a particular build(dev, stage, live)? My appSettings.Config changes the conx strings for data sources based on which server the package is being deployed to. I am able to go through Package configurations and add my appSettings.Config, however, I can only specifically add one file dev, stage, or live. What i need to do is be able to build the solution and based on teh build type incorporate the dev/stage/live appsettings. How could I do this?
You could include all of the configuration files in the install and then just point to the correct one through an environment variable. I know you're wanting to switch the configuration file based on the solution build configuration, but you'll be looking at a complex solution when a simpler alternative exists.
Its quite straight-forward to add registry information during the package install that will set the machine's environment variable under the key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\MyVariable
...to the path of the .dtsConfig for the current environment.
