Latest Stable Version

1. Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

composer require --prefer-dist diggindata/yii2-geonames:dev-master

or

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist diggindata/yii2-geonames

or add

"diggindata/yii2-geonames": "@dev"

to the require section of your composer.json, then run

composer install

2. Configuration

Folders

We need a folder to store downloaded data files from geonames.org. So in your application's base directory, create the directories data and data/geonames. This directory will hold the downloaded data files from geonames.org.

Application Configuration

Add following lines to both, your web and your console configuration file to enable this module (config/web.php and config/console.php):

    ...
    'modules' => [
        ...
        'geonames' => [
            'class' => 'diggindata\geonames\Module',
        ],
    ],

Commandline Configuration

The yii geonames shell command can be configured.

Create a file geonames.php in the config directory of your Yii application.

You may use the file vendoe/diggindata/yii2-geonames/geonames.php.example file as a template.

All available configuration options are listed below with their default values.

proxy (type: string, default: null)

• URL with port of proxy server

proxy_user (type: string, default: null)

• Proxy usernanme

proxy_pass (type: string, default: null)

• Proxy user password

keepTxt (type: boolean, default: true)

storagePath (default: Yii::getAlias('@app/data') . '/geonames')

ignoreTables

Array of tables which would be ignored in imports. Some tables might note be used by you, e.g. alternate_names table.
Uncommenting it will stop auto-import.

countries (type: array, default: array())

Array of 2-Char ISO codes of countries which shall be imported. If the array is empty, the allCountries file is imported.

3. Update Database Schema

Finally you need to update your database schema by applying the provided migrations. Make sure that you have properly configured your db application component, then run the following command:

$ php yii migrate/up --migrationPath=@vendor/diggindata/yii2-geonames/src/migrations

Where do I go now?

By now you should have Yii2-geonames installed. You may now open the geonames module. You should also be able to import geonames data via the console commqand, see Usagebelow.

Usage

Download Data

Enter the following command within your application's folder:

yii geonames/geonames/download

This will download data files:

[] zip
+--- DE.zip
iso-languagecodes.txt

To update already existing files, add the -u flag.

Import Data
