or -- if using yii2-console, easy to use migration alternative

$ yii migrate2 m000000_000000_c006_url

Setup

Basic "config/web.php"

Advanced "config/main.php"

    'components' => [
        ...
        ...
        ...
        'urlManager' => [
            'enablePrettyUrl' => FALSE,
            'showScriptName'  => FALSE,
        ],
    ],

    'modules'    => [
        ...
        ...
        ...
        'alias' => [
            'class' => 'c006\url\Module',
            'is_frontend' => {TRUE/FALSE}
        ],
    ],

Do not use .htaccess

**Use Mod_Rewrite in your host / virtual host file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
    RewriteLogLevel 0
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ - [L]
    RewriteRule (assets|images|css|videos)($|/) - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index
    RewriteRule (.*) /index.php$1
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

This goes for frontend and backend if using advanced.

Usage

Go to:

/alias

click > create url

public => abc
private => site/about

Now /abc will display site/about

Note private can have a dynamic query string.

public => abc
private => site/about?id=123
