GroupGridView no longer provided by 2amigos/yii2-grid-view-library #70

Closed cjsoftuk closed 7 years ago

cjsoftuk commented 7 years ago

It seems GroupGridView has been removed from the 2amigos/yii2-grid-view-library - this is seemingly required by antlog - which I've just spent an hour or so attempting to install on my (non-Windows) computer.

It appears that since 2amigos/yii2-grid-view-library:1.0.1 and newer, GroupGridView has been removed in favour of a new thing called GroupColumnsBehaviour. Unfortunately, I've not had time to dig further.

Can I recommend changing the composer.json to refer to "2amigos/yii2-grid-view-library:~0.1" rather than the "2amigos/yii2-grid-view-library" it currently refers to?

Are pull requests welcome?

Thanks for finding this, pull requests are certainly welcome! So far it's been a one-man show with very little support.

Ultimately - this came about as a result of me attempting to set up a machine capable of running AntLog in prep for a potential AWS53 at Southampton Uni (I am cmalton on RW101) which Dave and I have been discussing. As an IT consultant by trade, I figured that getting this running on a Linux-based box (as I don't really use Windows at all) ought to be trivial.... and relatively speaking, it was until I discovered things like this (and the other issue I logged).

Will see if I can find some time to address some of these issues I'm logging - although I am not familiar with Yii at all.

Did this come to light because you are installing Antlog via Composer? The normal route would be to download the complete Antlog package (current release zip file) which should contain all the correct dependencies. The Composer route is only required if you want the full development version. See https://github.com/GaryA/antlog/wiki/Installation-Step-1

Err, yeah - that was exactly how I failed at that..... Was trying to work out how to make it easy to deploy a Linux virtual machine for Antlog at the click of a button - then, unless there's some essential reason for keeping it after upload, disposing of it after the files have been emailed over - so we'd be able to build a new one fresh with the latest copy before each event.

I'll be honest - yes, I probably failed to read the instructions.... but I hadn't found that page.

Combination of failure to navigate documentation - and familiarity with using composer - leads to this.

Looking at it... I think I probably did see that page - and promptly ignored it as it started talking about XAMPP - which is Windows - and I'm trying to do it without installing Windows. I therefore didn't get as far as Step 2...

Ha ha, you fall into the 0.1% of 0.1% of users who a) know what they're doing and b) aren't using Windows and expecting a 1-click install! Please do take a look at the wiki and/or the help in the app, it will make your life easier.
