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 search

The built-in SilverStripe search form is a very simple search engine. This plugin takes SQL-based searching to the next level, without requiring the implementation of a full-blown search engine like Solr or Elastic Search. It is designed to bring data-oriented filters on top of the simple text search functionality.

Requirements

Silverstripe 6
For Silverstripe 4/5 see 1.x

Usage

Create a SearchPage instance (typically at the root of your website). This page only is used to display results, so please refrain from creating multiple instances.
Configure your website's _config/config.yml (or add _config/search.yml) to define search parameters.
Run dev/build to instansiate your new configuration (this will also automatically create an instance of SearchPage if one does not exist).
To overwrite the default SearchPage tmeplate, add a template file to your application: templates/PlasticStudio/Search/Layout/SearchPage.ss

Upgrading from SS5 to SS6

Rename $SearchForm to $BasicSearchForm in page templates

Upgrading from jaedb/search

Ensure you review the search config and update it to match the example config in this repo. Key changes:

Table: 'SiteTree_Live' -> Table: 'Page_Live'
Add JoinTables: ['SiteTree_Live']

Elemental

Elemental search is included
On page or Element save, all content from all Elements is saved to a field called ElementalSearchContent on sitetree.
Simply include 'SiteTree_Live.ElementalSearchContent' to the list of page columns
Currently there is no way to exclude individual elements from being included.
Run IndexPageContentForSearchTask to index element content
