Invalid download path and CDN URL in Yiistrap for Yii Framework

Question

I have a project based on the Yii Framework. I followed this guide to implement boostrap for my yii project, but I get an error:

Invalid Bootstrap path and CDN URL not set. Set vendor.twbs.bootstrap.dist alias or cdnUrl parameter in the configuration file. 

Here's the URL http://www.getyiistrap.com/site/started

I followed everything. I did not use a composer. I just downloaded the zip file.

Here is my configuration file for reference:

<?php

// uncomment the following to determine the path alias // Yii :: setPathOfAlias ​​('local', 'path / to / local-folder');

// This is the main configuration of the web application. Anyone writable // Here you can configure the properties of CWebApplication. return array ('BasePath' => directory_name ( FILE ). DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. '..', 'name' => 'My Web Application',

// preloading 'log' component
'preload'=>array('log'),

 // path aliases
'aliases' => array(
    'bootstrap' => realpath(__DIR__ . '/../extensions/bootstrap'), // change this if necessary
),

// autoloading model and component classes
'import'=>array(
    'application.models.*',
    'application.components.*',
            'bootstrap.helpers.*',

),

'modules'=>array(
    // uncomment the following to enable the Gii tool

    'gii'=>array(
        'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',
        'password'=>'password',
        // If removed, Gii defaults to localhost only. Edit carefully to taste.
        'ipFilters'=>array('127.0.0.1','::1'),
                    'generatorPaths' => array('bootstrap.gii'),
    ),

),

// application components
'components'=>array(

    'user'=>array(
        // enable cookie-based authentication
        'allowAutoLogin'=>true,
    ),


        'bootstrap' => array(
            'class' => 'bootstrap.components.TbApi',   
        ),

    // uncomment the following to enable URLs in path-format

    'urlManager'=>array(
        'urlFormat'=>'path',
        'rules'=>array(
            '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
            '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
            '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
        ),
    ),


    // database settings are configured in database.php
    'db'=>require(dirname(__FILE__).'/database.php'),

    'errorHandler'=>array(
        // use 'site/error' action to display errors
        'errorAction'=>'site/error',
    ),

    'log'=>array(
        'class'=>'CLogRouter',
        'routes'=>array(
            array(
                'class'=>'CFileLogRoute',
                'levels'=>'error, warning',
            ),
            // uncomment the following to show log messages on web pages
            /*
            array(
                'class'=>'CWebLogRoute',
            ),
            */
        ),
    ),



),

// application-level parameters that can be accessed
// using Yii::app()->params['paramName']
'params'=>array(
    // this is used in contact page
    'adminEmail'=>'[e-mail]',
),
);

I followed where to put the bootstrap files. I searched the Internet but cannot find the answer. Thanks

Answer 1

• Add to the beginning config/main.php:

  Yii::setPathOfAlias('bootstrap', dirname(__FILE__) . '/../extensions/bootstrap');
  

• Then in the components:

  // application components
  'components' => array(
  ...
      'bootstrap' => array(
          'class' => 'bootstrap.components.Bootstrap'
  ),
  

• And delete your code:

   // path aliases
  'aliases' => array(
  'bootstrap' => realpath(__DIR__ . '/../extensions/bootstrap'),
  ),
  

• Check if bootstrap is in extensions/bootstrap

So it should work.

Answer 2

I assume you are using YiiStrap 2.xx

You can set

// path aliases
'aliases' => array(
    'bootstrap' => realpath(__DIR__ . '/../extensions/bootstrap'),
    'vendor.twbs.bootstrap.dist' => realpath(__DIR__ . '/../extensions/bootstrap'),
),

. , YiiStrap 2.x.x , 1.x.x .
