Render CMS content in console command

[nadar]

Q:
i’m trying to achieve the following:

I want a console command that sends out mails on a daily basis.
The contents of the mails should be composed and edited via the CMS (i create a cms page for every mail) and then rendered inside the console command.

Is that even possible in console context? If yes, how do i access the cms contents?

This does not work and dies with a an exception:
Yii::$app->menu->findOne([‘id’ => $mailPageId);

Exception ‘yii\base\InvalidConfigException’ with message ‘Unknown component ID: composition’

A:
I have not tested, but i would suggest you to build your content and store in luya\Config.

To build the content you could catch the Yii2 afterUpdate event for model NavItemPage (https://github.com/luyadev/luya-module-cms/blob/master/src/models/NavItemPage.php) and then store the content in the config.

$model = NavItemPage ... from after event update hook
$content = $model->getContent();
\luya\Config::set('myNewsletterContent', $content);

Then in the console command you can grab the content with luya\Config::get('myNewsletterContent')

• catch class level events
• the LUYA config model
• the LUYA CMS Page Content Model

I have not tested, but this should work. Would be nice if you could post the final result here.
