yii2 - frontend to backend and backend to frontend controller config files + .htaccess - COMPLETLY CONFIGURATION

I'm trying to completely manage my page with .htaccess file and two links/button or redirect:

Hope that is clearly enough.

My environment is DEV as I'm working localy if that is so difference.

All I tried:

And I'm a bit confused with .htaccess files and urlManager so appreciate any help a lot.

Let's check the files :

DIRECTORY ROOT & COMMON

/.htacces

#prevent directory listing

IndexIgnore */*

#follow symbolic links
Options FollowSymlinks

RewriteRule ^admin(/.+)?$ backend/web/$1 [L,PT]
RewriteRule ^(.+)?$ frontend/web

frontend links for backend

simply created with:

$backendUrl= Yii::$app->urlManagerBackend->createUrl('//');
echo yii\helpers\Html::a('link to backend', $backendUrl);

In the root directory what means http://localhost/app-name/ i created index.php file for redirecting to frontend while clicking link on backend (to frontend):

/index.php

header("Location: http://pp.test/frontend/web/", true, 301);
exit();

And by now it works so so, but i'm not able to enable pretty url in the backend as it does not works corectlly. And also i do not think that's a good way using redirecting from other file especially from root directory.

Please note, that in common/config/main.php no changes is needed and do not need .htaccess file in the root directory.

I'm assuming that your frontend is at http://localhosts and your backend at http://localhosts/admin. If your rewrite rules does not work correctly, you may try use symlinks for this - at least for me it was always simpler and less problematic way of handling frontend/backend URLs on shared hosting.

You always have 2 UrlManager components: main (for current environment) and slave (for second environment, for example for backend in frontend app). So in frontend/config/main.php you will have something like:

// ...
// main - used to generate and parse URLs to frontend from frontend app
'urlManager' => [
    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
    'baseUrl' => '/',
    'rules' => [
        '/' => 'site/index',
        'home' => 'site/home',
        'about' => 'site/about',
        'moje-prace' => 'site/moje-prace',
        'umow-wizyte' => 'rezerwacje/create',
        'contact' => 'site/contact',
        'login' => 'site/login',
        'signup' => 'site/signup',
    ],
],
// slave - used to generate URLs to backend from frontend app
'urlManagerBackend' => [
    'class' => 'yii\web\urlManager',
    'baseUrl' => '/admin',
    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
],
// ...

And in backend/config/main.php:

// ...
// main - used to generate and parse URLs to backend from backend app
'urlManager' => [
    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
    'baseUrl' => '/admin',
],
// slave - used to generate URLs to frontend from backend app
'urlManagerFrontend' => [
    'class' => 'yii\web\urlManager',
    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
    'baseUrl' => '/',
    'rules' => [
        '/' => 'site/index',
        'home' => 'site/home',
        'about' => 'site/about',
        'moje-prace' => 'site/moje-prace',
        'umow-wizyte' => 'rezerwacje/create',
        'contact' => 'site/contact',
        'login' => 'site/login',
        'signup' => 'site/signup',
    ],
],
// ...

As you can see, they're swapped - main UrlManager from frontend app is slave in backend app. Depending on current and target environment, you're using different URL manager.

If you want to generate URL to frontend from backend app:

Yii::$app->urlManagerFrontend->createUrl('site/index');
// result: http://localhost

If you want to generate URL to backend from backend app:

Yii::$app->urlManager->createUrl('site/index');
// result: http://localhost/admin/site/index

If you want to generate URL to backend from frontend app:

Yii::$app->urlManagerBackend->createUrl('site/index');
// result: http://localhost/admin/site/index

If you want to generate URL to frontend from frontend app:

Yii::$app->urlManager->createUrl('site/index');
// result: http://localhost
