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.

  • 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.

Again options can be passed optionally as an array. see the WordPress codex for all possible options.

You can define what filters you want to appear by using the filters() method:

By passing an array of taxonomy names you can choose the filters that appear and the order they appear in. If you pass an empty array, no drop down filters will appear on the admin edit screen.

Columns

The Class has a number of methods to help you modify the admin columns. Taxonomies registered with this class are automagically added to the admin edit screen as columns.

You can add your own custom columns to include what ever value you want, for example with our books post type we will add custom fields for a price and rating.

You can define what columns you want to appear on the admin edit screen with the setColumns() method by passing an array like so:

The key defines the name of the column, the value is the label that appears for that column. The following column names are automagically populated by the class:
