If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Nice Backend Previews for Content Elements in TYPO3

About this extension

This extension adds a hook for rendering content element previews for TYPO3's backend view in the page module, adding the ability to use Fluid Partials and Layouts to enable consistent preview markup.

Installation

composer require b13/backendpreviews

and install the extension using the Extension Manager in your TYPO3 backend.

Add configuration

Add this to your PageTsConfig to include the default Fluid Templates provided with this extension:

You can add your own paths to the setup using PageTsConfig in your own site-extension:

By default, we will try to find a template to render a preview based on the CType of the element, meaning for CType mytype we will try to find a template named Mytype.html in one of the paths defined in the templateRootPaths-Array.

You can set a different templateName explicitly like this:

For plugins a template name for a specific plugin can be specified like this:

All flexform data of the plugin are available in {pi_flexform_transformed} to create meaningful previews:

Use custom backend previews for default CTypes

Default CTypes for fluid_styled_content define dedicated previewRenderer classes. If you want to use EXT:backendpreviews instead, remove the configuration for each of these CTypes in your extension's ext_localconf.php:
