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 localgov_microsites_base

LocalGov Microsites Base

A sub-theme of LocalGov Base. Please read the README there also.

Customising the appearance through the UI

A Microsite Admin has the permission to set a number of css variables through the UI. These override the default variables set in /css/variables.css

Creating a sub-theme of LocalGov Microsites Base

We recommend creating a sub-theme of LocalGov Microsites Base in order to create a custom theme for one or more of your microsites. A Microsite controller is able to install and set a new theme for a microsite.

Quick overview

  1. Create a new sub-theme of LocalGov Microsite Base (see below)
  2. Copy the variables you need from localgov_microsites_base/css/variables.css and set the default branding colours, fonts etc
  3. Enable this theme, using the "Enable" button only, not the "Enable and set as default" button. After this, you can then hit the "Set as default" button. This 2-step process is needed to ensure all the blocks from the default theme get transition to the same block regions in your new theme.

Sub-theme

To create a sub-theme, you simply need to run the sub-theme creation script that is in the /scripts directory, like so:

You need to enter two items when creating a sub-theme:

  1. The name of the theme, this can be anything and can include spaces, e.g. Super Council
  2. The machine name for the theme, this must start with a letter and use only lowercase letters and underscores, e.g. super_council

Custom Styles

Hopefully most of the custom styles you will need are set via CSS custom properties in the /css/variables.css file in your sub-theme.

This is where you set your colours, fonts, spacing, etc. Then you "apply" these variables where needed, like so:

If you need to add any CSS overides, you can create custom CSS files for these and then a library/libraries to attach them to your components.
