A couple of years of go i used to program using PHP, but without frameworks. With these recent developments I've decided to get in the to the game and try using one. I've decided to use yii 2.0 .
I've read some of the documentation and in my opinion there is some lack of information (at least for who is getting started), so i´m having some problems installing yii 2.0 on my computer using Xampp. The PHP version is 5.5.9.
From what i could understand i downloaded the yii 2.0 framework, extracted the content and copied to c:\xampp\htdocs\yii2
I've already installed the composer, so the the next thing to do i think would be, using the cmd, do these two lines of code:
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0"
composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
The problem is when i do the last one it asks for username and password i think of GitHub. Can you tell me if I'm obligated to have an account on github to install yii 2.0 framework.
Is there a way to get around this?
Yii2 is integrated with composer asset plugin. It allows download Bower and NodeJs packages through Composer.
Github account is required to overcome API rate limit. Here is the explanation from the main contributor of this extension:
It's a rate limit of Github API. In anonymous access, Github at a
greatly reduced limit (60/hr it seems to me), and we must be logged
with a token for have a much higher limit.
See composer/composer#1569 and composer/composer#1877
The problem also exists using Nodejs and Bower.
You can find it in this issue, it's 9th from the top.
I think workaround with installing Bower and the same packages is not an option, because initially and with each framework update you must manually synchronize packages with their versions and override some configuration. Also some extensions require javascript plugins and using composer asset plugin too. So you have to do the same with each of them too. It simply not worth it. And having account on Github for web developer nowadays is kind of de facto standard.
Just create Github account if you are still don't have one and everything should be fine. Earlier updating process was pretty slow, now it's faster and I found this approach pretty interesting and flexible.

So today I was updating one of our SPFX extensions to use the latest spfx framework (1.16) with node (16.13) and after finishing my updates I got the following inside my code:
I am not exactly sure why these are not coming in, I suspect the newest version of spfx moves these classes out of sp-application-base, but why? and where is the documentation for it? Because there is this link that is only 6 months old and explains to use this code for the top and bottom headers.
I was expecting this code to remain in sp-application-base, but it appears it isn't in that package.
How did you perform the upgrade? I highly recommend using the Microsoft 365 CLI to upgrade projects, as the developers of that app do thier best to cover every part of the project that needs to change. Learn more at https://pnp.github.io/cli-microsoft365/cmd/spfx/project/project-upgrade/
Here are the commands to run from the root of your project
npm install -g #pnp/cli-microsoft365
m365 spfx project upgrade --output text
This will give a list of npm commands and code update instructions to follow. See the above documentation for other options for output and use whatever works best for you.
It is still there. What version of #microsoft/sp-application-base is in your project? Should be 1.16.1 I believe. I will say that I am new to all of this as well, but I am using the latest framework and VS is not flagging any issues with these.
I am attempting to build a GeoDjango site. I have tried three hosting providers so far and eventually run into a roadblock with each one.
The latest... A2Hosting seemed promising until I needed to run:
sudo apt-get install binutils libproj-dev gdal-bin
I was then informed that I need to move to an unmanaged VPS. This translates to I need to completely set up the entire system.
I attempted to do this, but feel I ended up creating more security vulnerabilities than getting it to work.
I know very little about the "sever" side and this is why I am trying to go to a "hosted" solution.
It seems the steps that need to be provided are:
django support
postgis support (including remote access - we want to be able to hit the database through QGIS as well)
Support to install the geospatial dependencies needed to turn django into geodjango - this seems to be the show stoppper for most hosting providers.
Any suggestions for who to try next would be greatly appreciated.
I wanted to know why AsseticBundle has been removed from all the versions of Symfony.
I looked everywhere and I don't found any site talking about this news that began for some weeks.
Initially, I thought they deleted this Bundle because there is a security flaw that will take a few days to be repaired.
This Bundle is indisponsable for including javascript and css file type from an external folder and I wanted to be sure if this Bundle wille be replaced by an another in Symfony or I should add this Bundle manually.
Thanks
The AsseticBundle is not compatible/maintained with the new version of the framework (2.8/3.x).
See the tweet of Fabpot that asking: Honest question: is #Assetic still relevant for #Symfony 3.0?
And the PR remove AsseticBundle (you can find good discussion about for and against the removal of Assetic).
Check also this great article on Symfony and Asset Management that clarify and riassume all the discussion around.
Hope this help
Although Symfony does not support assetic from versions 2.8 upwards, you can still install it by running:
composer require symfony/assetic-bundle
and then enable the bundle in your AppKernel.php like so:
new Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\AsseticBundle()
I am working on a CakePHP 3.0 project which I want to update to 3.1-RC1. When I try do so I get an error:
Problem 1
- akkaweb/cakephp-facebook dev-master requires cakephp/cakephp 3.0.x-dev -> satisfiable by cakephp/cakephp[3.0.x-dev].
Now this plugin in question hasn't been updated in 6 months and I suspect it might work OK in CakePHP 3.1, so I would like to try it out.
How do I tell Composer to ignore this particular version incompatibility and proceed to update my CakePHP package?
I am aware of version aliases, but I only want the exception to be for the plugin in question, and not for everything else.
You should be frightened when you want to use a software that isn't maintained, hasn't released any tagged versions, and depends on developer branch versions of other important software. I wouldn't use this package at all. It will harm you in the long term, even if you made Composer install it.
If the current author does not respond to your contact attempts, you should be able to fork the project (in compliance with the license it gave you) and start maintaining the package by fixing the problems you have. Because that's what you'd have to do anyways when using unmaintained software. It will allow you to use this package in a much cleaner way, instead of coming up with a dirty Composer hack to make it install.
I'm a webdeveloper and I'm starting a huge project requested by a company.
I'm trying to figure out if is best to use a PHP framework or not, and in case, which one.
I know Codeigniter, but I wanted to look around to see what's the best framework at the moment. I found out Laravel is trending at the top so I wanted to try it out.
Being used to Codeigniter I usually download the zip file with all the phps inside and start working. I'm trying to do the same with Laravel but I saw you are to download and use composer to install it.
I'm not really used to the Terminal and I wanted to ask if that's the only way of installing it or if there is a downloadable version as in Codeigniter, CakePHP, etc...
You can always download the ZIPped code directly from project's GitHub site. You can find the base application here: https://github.com/laravel/laravel - you'll find a link at the bottom of the right column. This code is what composer downloads when you use that to setup the application.
If you want to use Laravel you will have to use Composer as this is what the application uses to manage its dependencies. It's not hard, as you'll only need to run a few commands.
You can learn more about how to install and use composer in the docs: https://getcomposer.org/download/
