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 blog

Link Robins Blog

A Ghost-style blog for Flarum. Standalone post storage, member-only post gating, a clean reading layout, real Flarum discussions for comments, and a built-in newsletter with broadcast over your existing SMTP.

Features

Reader

Sidebar nav

The blog sidebar inherits from Flarum's standard IndexSidebar.navItems() — so extensions that add nav items via extend(IndexSidebar.prototype, 'navItems', ...) automatically have a place in the blog's left rail. The blog then customizes the result:

A separate forum-side "Blog" link is also added to Flarum's regular IndexSidebar — so when a reader is on /all or reading a discussion, the blog is one click away. That link suppresses itself when the page is already a blog page, so it doesn't duplicate the sidebar's own All Posts entry.

Multi-author publishing

Two permissions, configured per group in Admin → Permissions:

Admins always have both. The blog's sidebar shows a Compose button (pen icon) for anyone with permission. The article view shows a … menu with Edit and Delete for posts you can manage — same visual as Flarum's discussion-post controls. Server-side hardening prevents anyone from setting user_id to another user when creating or editing.

Drafts

/blog/drafts lists unpublished posts. Authors see their own drafts; moderators and admins see everyone's. Sidebar link to it appears for anyone with linkrobins-blog.start (admins too); everyone else doesn't see the link or any draft data. The page is the same layout as the blog index but sorted by creation date.

Member-only posts

Posts marked visibility: members show the excerpt and a login-wall card to guests. Logged-in users (or only specific groups, configurable) see the full content. Search engines see only the excerpt.

Comments are real Flarum discussions

Each blog post gets one normal Flarum discussion behind the scenes. Comments below the post are posts in that discussion. This means:

There is no shadow comment system. If you can moderate forum discussions, you can moderate blog comments.

Newsletter (built in)

Admin

Installation

Then enable the extension from the admin extensions list.

Required Flarum

Flarum core, recent. If your Flarum is old enough that Extend\Routes('api')->post(...) doesn't exist, this won't work; otherwise it should.

Upgrading

This release adds:

All three are applied by php flarum migrate after upgrading. The migrations are additive — no data is dropped or transformed.

Newsletter deliverability

The extension sends mail via Flarum's configured SMTP. Whether those mails arrive in inboxes vs spam folders depends on your sending domain, not on this code:

Auto-broadcast is one-shot. Once a post broadcasts, the broadcast_sent_at timestamp prevents a second send even if you unpublish and republish. If you need to genuinely re-send for some operational reason (a first send failed mid-way, etc.), it has to be done via tinker or a direct DB tweak — there's no UI button for it. This is intentional: a publish click should never silently re-spam a list.

Configuration

All in Admin → Extensions → Link Robins Blog → Settings:

API

Mostly JSON:API for posts and categories. A few non-resource endpoints:

DELETE /api/linkrobins-blog/subscription Unsubscribe (idempotent)
