After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
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.

Administration

Migration towards 2.0

Extension version 2.0 has been rewritten using Extbase as underlying framework. The database structure was changed. To smooth the migration, run the update wizard from the Extension Manager. The script will take care of building the Flex Form and change the list_type plugin signature.

It is recommended to backup table tt_content!!!

Plugin type USER_INT vs USER

In the Extension Manager, it can be decided whether to handle the cache by the plugin or by the global cache preferences. This is known to be USER_INT vs USER. If set to USER_INT the default cache duration is 3600 seconds and can be changed by TS. If set to USER the cache is as long as the cache page is configured. Do clear TYPO3 cache when changing this value!!

Avoiding cache

Whenever RSS Display detects the parameter no_cache=1 in the URL, the Caching Framework is skipped. This is convenient in development mode or for forcing the cache to be regenerated.

Add a custom Template

RSS Display is flexible enough to add a custom template which is then display in the drop down menu in the BE. The BE User can then pick this custom template. New template must be added / configured by TypoScript like:

# To be added somewhere in your settings
# Replace "foo" by your extension.
plugin.tx_rssdisplay {
	settings {
		templates {

			# foo1 is just a key which must be unique
			foo_1 {
				label = My Template
				path = EXT:foo/Resources/Private/Templates/Feed/Show.html
			}
		}
	}
}

View Helpers

RSS Display has various View Helpers to interact with a SimplePie object which provides an API for fetching data from a feed item. Some advanced View Helpers are explains below :

# Retrieve a custom value from the item "author". See the API http://simplepie.org/wiki/reference/start#methods1
<feed:item.get value="author"/>

# Retrieve a value of a custom tag according to a namespace
<feed:item.tag namespace="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" tag="foo"/>

# Retrieve multiple values from a tag according to a namespace
# The example uses the shorthand syntax of Fluid - @see http://forge.typo3.org/issues/5033
<f:for each="{feed:item.tags(namespace: 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/' tag: 'bar')}" as="value">
	{value}
</f:for>
{namespace feed=Fab\RssDisplay\ViewHelpers}
