loading Yii Bootstrap in a module only

Question

I'm try to load the Yii Bootstrap extension in the admin module only but it's not working. I'm assuming I need to preload it or initiate it somehow... Thanks!

    class AdminModule extends CWebModule
    {
        public function init()
        {
            // import the module-level models and components
            $this->setImport(array(
                'admin.models.*',
                'admin.components.*',
                'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap',
            ));
        }

        public function beforeControllerAction($controller, $action)
        {
            if(parent::beforeControllerAction($controller, $action))
            {
                         $this->layout = 'admin';                
                         return true;
            }
            else
                return false;
        }
    }

Answer 1

Really working code : in your module init function just paste the following code :

Yii::setPathOfAlias('bootstrap', Yii::getPathOfAlias('ext.bootstrap'));
Yii::app()->setComponent('bootstrap', array('class'=>'bootstrap.components.Bootstrap'));

Answer 2

When you configure the following in the main config (protected/config/main.php), example as:

'admin' => array(
      'preload'=>array('bootstrap'),
       'components'=>array(
          'bootstrap' => array(
               'class' => 'bootstrap.components.Bootstrap',
               'responsiveCss' => true,
           ),
       ),
 )

Then, you can using component as

$bootstrap = $this->getModule()->bootstrap; // with $this is a current controller. 

To define this module component to main component, you must to set Component in init() of Module class:

// Set main component `bootstrap`  instead of CController->getModule()->bootstrap
app()->setComponent('bootstrap', $this->bootstrap);

protected/config/main.php

'modules'=>array(
    'admin'=>array(
        'preload'=>array('bootstrap'),
        'components'=>array(
            'bootstrap'=>array(
                'class'=>'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap'
        )
    ),

)    

Preload it in the init :

public function init()
{
    // import the module-level models and components
    $this->setImport(array(
        'admin.models.*',
        'admin.components.*',
        // 'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap', // this will go to app config for components
    ));
    Yii::app()->getComponent('bootstrap');// this does the loading
}

If it doesn't work then paste your url into that file, which form you are using bootstrap

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/pojects/fcorginal/assets/b2e88ad5/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" />

There are 4 different ways to do this:

1. Add the configuration to the app's configuration (protected/config/main.php):

   'modules'=>array(
       'admin'=>array(
           'preload'=>array('bootstrap'),
           'components'=>array(
               'bootstrap'=>array(
                   'class'=>'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap'
           )
       ),
   // ... other modules ...
   )    
   

2. Preload it in the init :

   public function init()
   {
       // import the module-level models and components
       $this->setImport(array(
           'admin.models.*',
           'admin.components.*',
           // 'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap', // this will go to app config for components
       ));
       Yii::app()->getComponent('bootstrap');// this does the loading
   }
   

3. Preload in init another way:

   public function init()
   {
       // import the module-level models and components
       $this->setImport(array(
           'admin.models.*',
           'admin.components.*',
       ));
   
       $this->configure(array(
               'components'=>array(
                   'bootstrap'=>array(
                       'class'=>'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap'
                   )
               )
       ));
       $this->getComponent('bootstrap');
   }
   

4. Preload in init yet another way:

   public function init()
   {
       // import the module-level models and components
       $this->setImport(array(
           'admin.models.*',
           'admin.components.*',
       ));
   
       $this->configure(array(
               'preload'=>array('bootstrap'),
               'components'=>array(
                   'bootstrap'=>array(
                       'class'=>'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap'
                   )
               )
       ));
       $this->preloadComponents();
   }
