yii2-widgets

---

This extension enhances or adds functionality to existing Yii Framework 2 Widgets to make available other bundled features available in Bootstrap 3.0, new HTML 5 features and affiliated Bootstrap extras.

NOTE: This extension has been revamped with release v3.4.1 on 05-Dec-2015. With release v3.4.0, each widget within this extension bundle has been logically regrouped and split into separate sub repositories. This change has been done to allow developers flexibility to install separately or specific widgets only (via composer) if needed. However, for new users installing this bundle should be the easiest way to give you access to all these important widget sub repositories in one shot. This change would not affect backward compatibility for any users already using the previous extension versions.

Widgets available in this bundle

The yii2-widgets bundle automatically includes extensions or widgets from these sub repositories for accessing via \kartik\widgets\ namespace.

In order to support this extension better, any additional input and navigation widgets will be created separately.

For example on events like window.load or window.unload (thereby enabling you to show a page loading progress without using ajax).

Navigation

• Main Body: Displays the main body sections based on the section & subsection headings and content passed.

The parameters to pass are:

• type The affix content type. Must be either menu or body. Defaults to menu
• items: The affix content items as an array. Check the affix combined usage for a detailed example.

Note: If you have the header section fixed to the top, you must add a CSS class kv-header to the header container. Similarly, for a fixed footer you must add the class kv-footer to your footer container. This will ensure a correct positioning of the affix widget on the page.
