Urban Asset Bundle

Backend UI for Yii2 Framework, based on Urban

This package contains an Asset Bundle for Yii 2.0 Framework which registers the CSS files for the Urban user-interface.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

To install Urban run:

composer require toir427/yii2-urban-asset

Quick Start

Once the extension is installed, you can have a preview by reconfiguring the path mappings of the view component:

For Yii 2 Advanced Application Template or Basic Application Template

'components' => [
    'view' => [
         'theme' => [
             'pathMap' => [
                '@app/views' => '@vendor/toir427/yii2-urban-asset/views'
             ],
         ],
    ],
],

This asset bundle provides sample files for layout and view (see folder examples/), they are not meant to be customized directly in the vendor/ folder.

Therefore it is recommended to copy the views into your application and adjust them to your needs.

Customization

  • Copy files from vendor/toir427/yii2-urban-asset/views (or other theme) to @app/views.
  • Remove the custom view configuration from your application by deleting the path mappings, if you have made them before.
  • Edit your views adhering to html markup vendor/almasaeed2010/urban/pages

Left sidebar menu - Widget Menu

If you need to separate sections of the menu then just add the li.header item to items

    'items' => [
        ['label' => 'Gii', 'icon' => 'file-code-o', 'url' => ['/gii']],
        ['label' => 'Debug', 'icon' => 'dashboard', 'url' => ['/debug']],
        ['label' => 'MAIN NAVIGATION', 'options' => ['class' => 'header']], // here
        // ... a group items
        ['label' => '', 'options' => ['class' => 'header']],
        // ... a group items
        ['label' => '', 'options' => ['class' => 'header']],
        // ... a group items

To add a label for a item:

'items' => [
    [
        'label' => 'Mailbox',
        'icon' => 'envelope-o',
        'url' => ['/mailbox'],
        'template'=>'<a href="{url}">{icon} {label}<span class="pull-right-container"><small class="label pull-right bg-yellow">123</small></span></a>'
    ],
]

By default to icons will be added prefix of Font Awesome
