Yii2 Advanced Template: Adding stand-alone web pages

Question

I added help.php under backend/views/site and I declare a function under SiteController.php to be able to recognize the link

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        'access' => [
            'class' => AccessControl::className(),
            'rules' => [
                [
                    'actions' => ['login', 'error'],
                    'allow' => true,
                ],
                [
                    'actions' => ['logout', 'index'],
                    'allow' => true,
                    'roles' => ['@'],
                ],
            ],
        ],
        'verbs' => [
            'class' => VerbFilter::className(),
            'actions' => [
                'logout' => ['post'],
            ],
        ],
    ];
}

public function actionHelp()
{
    return $this->render('help');
}

The link is now accessible but it gives me an error Forbidden(#403) and it says "You are not allowed to perform this action."

Now, I would like to ask if how will I be able to view the web pages that I've created. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The problem is related with AccessControl filter.

You can add help action to the this list of allowed actions for example like this:

[
    'actions' => ['login', 'error', 'help'],
    'allow' => true,
],

You can read more and check how access rules are applied in according documentation section .
