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 unicorn
EXT:unicorn — A magical unicorn for the TYPO3 backend
Adds an interactive, animated unicorn that gallops across the TYPO3 backend — complete with sparkle trails, physics-based jumping, and a handful of easter eggs.
Features
- Unicorn runs and bounces across the bottom of the TYPO3 backend
- Physics-based jumping with adjustable jump height
- Sparkle trail of stars, hearts and butterflies following the unicorn
- Upside-down mode: unicorn flips and runs across the top of the screen
- Star shower easter egg
- Fully keyboard-driven — no clicks required
- Works across all TYPO3 backend iframes
- No configuration, no database records — install and it just works
Installation
Or install and activate via the TYPO3 Extension Manager.
Keyboard controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl / Cmd + U |
Summon / dismiss the unicorn |
Ctrl / Cmd + . |
Pause / resume |
Arrow Up |
Jump — each press also raises the jump height |
Arrow Up × 2 (quickly) |
Star shower easter egg |
Arrow Down |
Toggle upside-down mode (runs on the ceiling) |
Arrow Left / Right |
Slow down / speed up |
Note: the arrow keys are relative to the unicorn's direction of travel. The key matching the current direction accelerates, the opposite one slows down — so while the unicorn runs leftwards,
Arrow Leftis the accelerator.
