Change default controller and default login in yii2 advanced template

By default yii2 template advanced template redirects to URL: site/login, when the user is not login, replace it with your own default login URL:

A. Add the below code on the backend main/config.php user component:

'components' => [
        'user' => [
            'identityClass' => 'common\models\User',
            'enableAutoLogin' => true,
         'loginUrl' => [ 'yourcontroller/youraction' ],
        ],

B. yii2 advanced template default controller is controllers/site controller.

You can change it to your module or controller name by putting the below configuration in main/config.php:

'defaultRoute' => 'yourcontroller',

Or if you have a module, then:

'defaultRoute' => 'module/controller',

Where a module is your module name and the controller is your controller name.
Then you can set the default action name in your controller file:

Class MyController extends Controller{
public $defaultAction = 'index';
}

You can also set rules in URLManager:

'urlManager' => [
            'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
            'showScriptName' => false,
            'enableStrictParsing' => false,
            'rules' => [
               'login'=>`yourcontroller/yourloginaction`,
                // ...
            ],
        ],
