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.

The Dashboard Module for SilverStripe 4

The Dashboard module provides a splash page for the CMS in SilverStripe 4 with configurable widgets that display relevant information. Panels can be created and extended easily. The goal of the Dashboard module is to provide users with a launchpad for common CMS actions such as creating specific page types or browsing new content.

Included panels

No included panels at the moment. These could be upgraded and brought back from the SS3 version of this module:

Installation

Creating a Custom Dashboard Panel

Dashboard panels have their own MVC architecture and are easy to create. In this example, we'll create a panel that displays recent orders for an imaginary website. The user will have the option to configure the panel to only show orders that are shipped.

Creating the model

First, create a class for the panel as a descendant of DashboardPanel. We'll include the database fields that define the configurable properties, and create the configuration fields in the getConfiguration() method.

mysite/code/RecentOrders.php

Creating the Template

The panel object will look for a template that matches its class name.

mysite/templates/Includes/DashboardRecentOrdersPanel.ss

Run /dev/build?flush=1, and you can now create this dashboard panel in the CMS.

Customizing with CSS

The best place to inject CSS and JavaScript requirements is in the inherited PanelHolder() method of the DashboardPanel subclass.

mysite/code/DashboardRecentOrdersPanel.php

Adding a chart to visualize data

The Dashboard module comes with an API for creating charts using the Google API.

mysite/code/DashboardRecentOrdersPanel.php

mysite/code/DashboardRecentOrdersPanel.ss

Custom templates for ModelAdmin / GridField panels

You can create your own templates for either of these panel types which will override the default templates. Due to the naming structure the custom templates will be specific to that partiular panel, thus you can have a seperate template for each ModelAdmin / GridField panel.

You can access all the properties of your model in the template as normal along with a EditLink method which will contain the CMS edit link for that item.

For model admin panels, create a templated called DashboardModelAdminPanel_ModelAdminClass_ModelAdminModel.ss and place it in your mysite/templates/Includes folder. eg; DashboardModelAdminPanel_MyAdmin_Product.ss

A gridfield panel uses a similar convention, DashboardGridFieldPanel_PageClassName_GridFieldName.ss

eg; DashboardGridFieldPanel_ContactPage_Submissions.ss

Note on Google Analytics Panel

You need to add your Google Analytics config information to the project config.yml:

To locate your profile ID, visit the Google Analytics website, login and select the website. At the end of the URL will be fragment similar to this:

The 8 digits that follow the "p" are your profile ID. In the example above, this would be 12345678.

NOTE: To use the Google Analytics panel, you have to enable access for less secure apps in the account permissions section of https://www.google.com/settings/security.
