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.

Elgg Update Services for Elggg 3.3 and newer Elgg 3.X

Latest Version: 3.3.0
Released: 2022-05-28

Description

The Elgg Update Services plugin will check the plugin repository on the Elgg Community site for updates of plugins installed on your site and notifies you by email about new plugin releases. This plugin has been developed originally by Ray J. I've taken over maintaining it from Ray J because he lacks the time to develop it any further.

The automatic check for updates is partly randomized to avoid too much load for the Elgg Community site's server. The minimum time between 2 automatic checks is 7 days. To these 7 days an additional randomly created interval between 1 minute and 1 day is added, so the automatic check is done every 7-8 days. Alternatively, you can check manually for updates (the check is always done on viewing the "Manage Updates" page).

If a new version for a plugin is found, you will have the options to visit the corresponding plugin's page on the Elgg Community site and/or to directly download the latest available version.

Requirements

Install instructions

  1. If you have a previous version of the Elgg Update Services plugin installed, first remove the old elgg_update_services plugin folder from your mod directory before copying/extracting the new version to your server,
  2. Copy/extract the elgg_update_services archive into the mod folder,
  3. Enable the elgg_update_services plugin,
  4. Optionally, enter an email address on the Elgg Update Services plugin settings page to receive notifications about plugin updates available.

End of life of the Elgg Update Services plugin

Sorry. But I don't see any sense in further maintencance of this plugin. Elgg 4.0 and newer no longer uses the manifest.xml file to handle version information. But this file was used by the Elgg Update Services plugin to create a checksum to compare against a checksum created on the server side (i.e. the community site) among some other steps to find out if there's a new version of a 3rd party plugin available for the Elgg version used. So, a major rewrite would have been necessary for the Elgg Update Services plugin to work again on Elgg 4 INCLUDING some changes on the community plugin repository plugin on the Elgg Community server. Additionally, some developer might no longer release their plugins on the community site at all (or only with a huge delay) but rather do their development to a large extend (or only) on their own github repositories. Therefore, it would probably give often a wrong impression if the Elgg Update Services plugin wouldn't report the availability of new plugin releases - there might be some but only not for download on the Elgg community site.
