Compatibility with mongodb

[indicalabs]

I have started working with mongodb extension and able to work smoothly. But the default functionality like maintaining users , login, logout... needs changes in out of the box code. Is it possible to smoothly work with mongodb with defaults users functionality without many changes? Do we really need lot many changes to work with mongodb extension? Can we expect gii works with mongodb in future?

Thanks in advance

Which changes do you mean exactly?

[indicalabs]

Mongodb extension is expecting

1. To have attributes() method in the model - which is okay.
2. When we sign up, "status" field is not set with default value - So Not able to login
3. There was an error sending email. - to reset password (because of empty/no STATUS field)
4. Logout menu not enabled though I set status and succeed in Login.(Yii::$app->user->isGuest OR
   Yii::$app->user->identity->username was not set)
5. $identity has not set, I think this is because mongodb will have "_id" but not "id" , If we add id, we also need to incorporate autoincrement of this "id" field.

I think if all this works by default, It would be great because out of the box "user" module is attractive and accelerate the development. I am not very good to fix the issue because I am a Java programmer and fall in love with Yii and learned PHP recently.

@klimov-paul can you look into it?

[indicalabs]

Paul, I think , there should be a way to deal with _id of mongodb, because having our own "id" returning as wrong id from ensureMongoId .

[klimov-paul]

When we sign up, "status" field is not set with default value

How do you attempt to setup default value for the “status”? Please provide the code example.

[indicalabs]

For now I am able to resolve status field issue, but user module is not setting identity , because yii expects "id" where mongodb having "_id".

I am just expecting out of the box user module to work with mongodb by changing ActiveRecord

[klimov-paul]

What is this “user module” you are mentioned?

[indicalabs]

Sorry I call user module which Yii framework has out of the box functionality for "signup", "login" ,"logout" and "rese-password".

[klimov-paul]

In that case it should be enough to change method “User::getId()” to be following:

public function getId()
{
    return $this->getPrimaryKey();
}

[indicalabs]

Thank Paul. That is working for me now. Currently "status" and "role" values are setting by the schema in the "user" table, that makes the new user Active by default. If we make change to the code to set these two fields with default values as part of core Yii framework, yii2-mongo will work for everyone without touching framework code.

[samdark]

Is it about advanced app template?

[indicalabs]

Yes

[klimov-paul]

@samdark, perhaps it is better you'll handle this.

[samdark]

OK. Will do when I'll be back home (mid-January).

[indicalabs]

samdark, Just to be clear here,

1. status and role to be set through code with default values
2. and these two should return in identity which will be used in PhpManager.php as in the below $this->assign(Yii::$app->user->identity->id, Yii::$app->user->identity->role); So that this Active user can be validated in custom rbac.php as soon as he Signed up

[samdark]

@Venu85 please check if it's better now. And thanks for your report.

@samdark Login is successful now, the mongodb database has the below record after signup

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("52c158e721182fb801d63af6"),
    "username" : "22",
    "email" : "xxxx@yahoo.com",
    "create_time" : 1388402919,
    "update_time" : 1388402919,
    "password_hash" : "$2y$13$0KFR9.oDPVU.t.t21IoZkOA1l/97HAkkCKpciLSEJVpYE1Tr22PdO",
    "auth_key" : "3IJfPVjzM404Heyv8-JTJ0Zy26FGOckm"
}

But the problem is, Since there is no status and role set,

1. User is not able to login after first logout, (because application is checking "status" - In case of mysql, status is setting with default value by database)
2. I have configured roles to authorize few actions, which is failed with below error (because it is expecting Yii::$app->user->identity->role to be set

Invalid Parameter – yii\base\InvalidParamException
Unknown authorization item ''.
at /Sites/advanced/vendor/yiisoft/yii2/yii/rbac/PhpManager.php
*/
    public function assign($userId, $itemName, $bizRule = null, $data = null)
    {
        if (!isset($this->_items[$itemName])) {
            throw new InvalidParamException("Unknown authorization item '$itemName'.");

Forgot to update scenarios. Should be OK now.
