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 ezownerchange
ezownerchange: change the owner of content in Exponential
ezownerchange changes the owner of content objects in Exponential. Change one object, or every object in a
subtree, from the administration interface or from the command line. Nothing changes before you have seen what
will change: the administration shows a preview (a dry run) and asks you to confirm, and the command line script
has --dry-run.
- One object or a whole subtree. Start from the context menu ("Change owner") of any node, choose the new owner in the content browser, then pick the scope.
- Preview first. The preview lists every object the change reaches and what happens to each one: the owner changes, it already has the new owner, it belongs to another owner and is left alone, or you may not edit it.
- Permission checked. The
owner/changepolicy opens the tool,owner/subtreeallows subtree changes, and each object changes only where you may also edit it (content/editwith its limitations). - Safe writes. Changes are written in batches, one database transaction per batch. Every changed object gets its view cache cleared and goes to the search index. If the content changes between the preview and the confirmation, nothing is written and you see the new preview.
- Audited. Every change is recorded in the Exponential audit as
content.ezownerchange.change. A subtree run is recorded as a whole ascontent.ezownerchange.subtree. - Command line.
bin/php/expownerchange.phphandles bulk changes of any size, for example "give everything one user owns below a node to another user", with--dry-run,--listand--batch-size. - Translated. English (eng-US) and German (ger-DE).
Requirements
- Exponential 6 (the audit records need Exponential 6.0.15 or later; without the audit, nothing is recorded and everything else works)
- PHP 8.0 or later (tested on PHP 8.5)
- ezformtoken switched on, as in every default installation, so that every form carries a form token
Installation
With Composer, from the root of the installation:
Without Composer, clone the repository into extension/:
New Exponential installations already have the extension and switch it on.
Activation
Switch it on in settings/override/site.ini.append.php:
Then regenerate the autoloads and clear the caches:
Administrators (the Administrator role has every policy) can use it right away. For other roles, see doc/permissions.md.
Quick start
- In the administration, open the context menu of a node and choose Change owner.
- Choose the new owner in the content browser and click Select.
- Pick This object only or This object and everything below it, then click Update preview.
- Check the preview, then click Change the owner of N objects.
On the command line, preview first and then run the change (here: everything user 41350 owns below node 40067 goes to user 41351; doc/cli.md shows the output):
