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 cockpit-videolinkfield

VideoLinkField Addon for Cockpit CMS

This addon is not compatible with Cockpit CMS v2.

See also Cockpit CMS v1 docs, Cockpit CMS v1 repo and Cockpit CMS v2 docs, Cockpit CMS v2 repo.

Copy a url from YouTube or Vimeo, click the Button "Find Values", wait a second and in the background starts a service, that downloads the video thumbnail and returns some meta data.

It works without a YouTube API key.

Installation

Copy this repository into /addons and name it VideoLinkField or

Legal advice

If you don't have the rights to use, download or store the thumbnails, you shouldn't use this addon.

Intended Use

You have your own YouTube or Vimeo channel (or you asked for permission before embedding content from other persons) and you want a simple way to build a privacy friendly website with embedded videos.

But embedding external videos directly is a bad idea for multiple reasons:

  1. Privacy - Google tracks my visitors if a YouTube iframe loads videos on startup.
  2. EUGDPR - I have to ask my visitors before I can embed third party resources with tracking mechanisms
  3. Page speed - If my visitors don't want to see a video, I don't want to load the preview window with 1-2MB

The idea is simple:

Users have a simple UI to copy and paste a video link without taking care of embed snippets. After loading the data from the Wysiwyg field, the link exists, even if users (or search engine bots) disabled javascript. When the document is ready and the visitor accepted cookie usage and third party requests, a script converts the links to iframes.

Features

Custom Field

TinyMCE Plugin

It has no thumbnail preview, but it produces a simple html <a> tag with all the data I need to embed it dynamically.

Example output:

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSdVs95Kesk" data-video-id="fSdVs95Kesk" data-video-provider="youtube" data-video-thumb="5cdf0b193338621488000156" data-video-width="480" data-video-height="360">Poledance-Show beim Kammgarnspinnereifest 2018</a>

Settings

Go to "settings" --> "VideoLinkField" or call /videolinkfield/settings.

Now you can define a folder, where all thumbnails should be stored. It works without a folder, too.

Make sure, that you are an admin or to set the rights to manage the addon. Example configuration in /config/config.yaml:

You don't have to set up anything for normal usage.

What happens internally?

Thumbnails are stored as assets. If title and description are available, they get stored in the assets meta data, too.
