FAQ

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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package silverstripe-slices

Content Slices for SilverStripe

Content management in "slices"; separate content components, each with their own template, fields and visual settings that can be created and arranged by a user in the CMS.

Usage

It's best to use silverstripe-slices with lots of generic fields on the base slice class, since this allows templates to share fields and be configured in YAML without creating a class for each slice. silverstripe-adaptivecontent works well for this (and used to be integrated with this module).

Templates

Each slice type/template has it's own template file with the name [BaseSliceClass]_[TemplateName]. These can go in themes/[theme]/templates/Slices to separate them from the other templates in your site.

Adding Slices to Page

This module comes with an extension for easily setting up Slices on Page:

In templates, all slices can be rendered using this:

Subclassing Slice

Subclassing Slice is a normal use case, however note that when subclassing it, you'll need to override the method getBaseSliceClass method in your "base" slice subclass (the one you point to in a has_many from Page) for the slice to save correctly:

This is due to the the module needing a "default" class to fall back to when the className key has not been set in a template config.

Customising CMS fields

Adding and modifying fields in YourBaseSlice::getCMSFields is an expected use case. Note that things configured in the slices YAML configuration will be overriden if, for example, you replace a field with something custom. In this case, you can re-apply the slices config with the following at the end of your getCMSFields function:

Customising slice previews in the CMS

A preview of a slice renders the CMS in an iframe when editing and browsing. Out of the box, previews are rendered inside a basic HTML page wrapper: silverstripe-slices/templates/SliceWrapper.ss. You can override this wrapper in your own theme to customise how slice previews are delivered.

Example config

Compatibility

This module requires at least SilverStripe 3.1 and PHP 5.3.
