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.

Winter Dashboard Widgets Plugin

A comprehensive plugin to provide a basic set of widgets for the Winter CMS admin dashboard.

This plugin provides a set of widgets that you can view on your Winter CMS admin dashboard. Once this plugin is installed, you can add and configure its widgets on your dashboard like any other widget.

Widgets

Currently, the following widgets are contained:

Setup

To install this plugin into your Winter CMS page, install it via Composer and enable it:

Configuration

This plugin only provides dashboard widgets. To add one of the provided widgets, activate it by going to your Dashboard, click "Add Widget" and select the widget from the list.

This plugin defines a permission that you can use to prevent certain users from viewing and interacting with these widgets.

Contributing

This plugin is a personal project because I needed a few widgets. Specifically, I always found the Cache widget from the old "Backend Plus" plugin (from the October CMS days) handy, but that plugin hasn't been updated in years, and I need something reliable.

However, I have little time to spend ongoing time adding new widgets. So instead, if you need a widget, please implement it and open a PR. The easiest way to add a widget is to simply copy an existing one.

Tip: The authoritative documentation for creating "report widgets" can be found in the Winter CMS documentation.

Broadly speaking, here's what you need to do:

  1. Define a new widget controller (e.g., Cache.php) in the reportwidgets folder.
  2. Create an accompanying widget partial called _widget.php in the partials folder.
  3. Register the widget in the Plugin.php
  4. Configure it according to what you wish to display/enable admins to do.

To add localization strings, add a new key in the widgets section of the English lang.php file, analogous to the other widgets. If you add additional languages, all the better. Do not keep verbatim English text in the widgets.

If you want to add additional CSS or JavaScript, please see the existing widgets for how to do that.
