FAQ
Example:
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 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.
Informations about the package html-widget
Link Robins HTML Widget
A simple HTML widget for Flarum 2.0, built as a widget for fof/forum-widgets-core. Same skeleton as linkrobins/shoutbox.
What it does
Adds one configurable HTML widget to the FoF Forum Widgets placement editor. Admin sets:
- Title — optional, shown above the body
- Icon — FontAwesome class (e.g.
fas fa-bullhorn) - HTML body — rendered as HTML, sanitised before display
Drag and place it from the FoF Forum Widgets admin page like any other widget.
Settings
Configured in Admin → Extensions → Link Robins HTML Widget, then placed from the FoF Forum Widgets page.
| Setting | Required | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Title | no | Shown above the body. Leave blank for a widget with no header. |
| Icon class | no | A FontAwesome class rendered beside the title, e.g. fas fa-bullhorn. Leave blank for no icon. |
| HTML body | yes | Raw HTML, sanitised before display (see the security note below). |
| Background color | no | The widget's background. Leave blank to follow your theme, which is what keeps it looking native in both light and dark mode. |
How a change reaches readers
The body is not baked into the forum's boot payload. It is fetched from its own endpoint on demand, and only a short hash of the current settings rides along in the payload.
That hash is what makes an edit show up: changing any setting changes the hash, which changes the fetch URL, so a normal page reload picks up the new content. Readers do not need a hard refresh, and unchanged content still caches normally rather than being re-fetched on every page view.
What it does NOT do
- One widget per forum, not a list of them. For several blocks of content, place several different widgets.
- No per-tag or per-page targeting — placement is whatever FoF Forum Widgets gives it.
- No Markdown. If you would rather write Markdown than HTML, use
linkrobins/markdown-widgetinstead.
Requirements
- Flarum 2.0 or later
fof/forum-widgets-coreinstalled and enabled
The HTML sanitiser (DOMPurify) is bundled into the extension — nothing is fetched from a CDN at runtime.
Installation
In Flarum admin → Extensions, find Link Robins HTML Widget under the Forum Widgets category and enable it. Configure title/icon/body, then go to FoF Forum Widgets settings and place it where you want it.
Security note
The HTML body is passed through DOMPurify before display, so <script> tags, event-handler attributes, javascript: URLs, and unsafe elements such as <iframe> are stripped. The body is still admin-only — treat it like any other admin-controlled content.
