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.

Informations about the package extension-tao-booklet

extension-tao-booklet

An extension for TAO to create test booklets (publishable in MS-Word and PDF along with Answer Sheets)

Warning

Due to the move to ES2015, some code might not work on legacy browsers. Especially for code that use to rely on polyfills, like for the Promise. The polyfills are now linked only when the code is bundled, and are not reachable anymore in development mode. For that reason, and because wkhtmltopdf is not supporting ES2015 and requires polyfills, the generation of PDF only works with bundled version (aka production mode).

From version 4.2.0 of taoBooklet, the page rendered to get the PDF will always use bundles transpiled to ES5. This applies no matter if the mode is set to development or production. This implies that any change made to the source code will need to pass trough a re-bundling:

For version 4.1.1 and older, you still need to activate the production mode as follows:

Configuration

The file config/taoBooklet/wkhtmltopdf.conf.php contains entries for setting up the tool:

wkhtmltopdf options

Option Description Default value
'header-html' The path to the header template added to each page. 'taoBooklet/views/templates/PrintTest/header.html'
'footer-html' The path to the header template added to each page. 'taoBooklet/views/templates/PrintTest/footer.html'
'margin-bottom' The margin added to top of the page. 10mm
'margin-top' The margin added to bottom of the page. 10mm
'page-size' The page size format: A4, Letter, etc. 'A4'
'orientation' The page orientation: Portrait or Landscape. 'Portrait'
'user-style-sheet' Specify a user style sheet, to load with every page. none

Note: additional options supported by wkhtmltopdf can be added here too. For a complete list, see: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt

Requirements

This extension needs a third-party tool to generate the PDF files. So to be able to generate the booklet, you should install wkhtmltopdf on your server.

If you are using Ubuntu you can use these commands:

However, depending on the version of your system, the installed version of wkhtmltopdf may not fully comply with the requirements, as there is some issues with QT when trying to render header and footers. If you encounter errors when generating the document, you should install the tool using these commands:

After that you can use /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf in your configuration

For Debian-based distributions, you may need to do an additional step to install some dependencies:

If the previous steps fail, you may try to use a binary, non-packaged distribution instead.

Please refer to https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html for an updated list of wkhtmltopdf packages for Ubuntu and other distributions. You may find a list of source, binary and packages for v0.12.5 at GitHub as well.

Deprecated: Please note that the version 0.12.4 has a bug which was fixed in the version 0.12.5: sometimes footers and headers not provided in the pdf
