The Yii 2 Practical-B Application Template is a skeleton Yii 2 application based on the yii2-basic template best for rapidly creating small projects. The template allows a practical method to directly access the application from the app root.
The template contains the basic features including user login/logout and a contact page. It includes all commonly used configurations that would allow you to focus on adding new features to your application.
The template has some security preconfigured for users with Apache web servers. It has a default .htaccess security configuration setup.
The template has prettyUrl enabled by default and the changes have been made to .htaccess as well as urlManager
component config in the config directory.

After installing a app, in the yii2-basic application you normally would access the
frontend by: https://domain/app/web
However, in many practical scenarios (especially on shared and single domain hosts) one
would want their users to directly access the app as: https://domain/app
The yii2-app-practical-b enables you to achieve just that by carefully moving and rearranging the
bootstrap files and web components of frontend to work directly out of the app root. The
web folder is entirely eliminated and one can directly access the application frontend
this way: https://domain/app.
All other aspects of the app configuration remain the same as the yii2-basic app. The original assets folder
in the approot is renamed to assets_b, while the web/assets folder moves to app root.
