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.

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.

  • 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.

Informations about the package craft-facebook-catalog

This plugin has retired! - July 2022

I've decided to retire this plugin since it's use is pretty limited in the best case. These days it's just as easy to create a template, query products yourself and have an RSS feed that is more customizable and better suited to your specific needs. The Craft 4 version is out so there is an upgrade path from 3 to 4.

Facebook Product Catalog

Get your products or entries into Facebook Catalog, on your Facebook page and on your Instagram account.

Requirements

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0 or later, and works out of the box when you have Craft Commerce installed.

If you want to use the plugin without commerce and/or with regular entries, have a look at the Twig functions

Installation

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

  1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    cd /path/to/project
composer require studioespresso/craft-facebook-catalog
./craft install/plugin craft-facebook-catalog

Usage

Out of the box, the plugin will give you 1 feed with all your Craft Commerce products, using the default variant for each product.

If you need more control over which products show up in the feed, or you want multiple feeds, have a look at the have a look at the Twig functions.

Twig function

If you want to use the plugin with regular entries, want to provide your own Element query or want to have mulitple feeds, have a look at these function:

Products - craft.catalog.products

Works with any Commerce Products element query, and will use the default variant for each product

   {% set products = craft.products.limit(1) %}
   {{ craft.catalog.products(query) }}

Entries - craft.catalog.entries

Works with any element query

   {% set query = craft.entries.section('books') %}
   {{ craft.catalog.entries(query) }}

Both function take an ElementQuery as first parameter and will use the fields mapped in the plugin settings.

An optional second parameter can be added with that contains these fixed field names and the names of the entry fields to which you want to map them.

   {{ craft.catalog.entries(products, {
        title: 'fieldHandle',
        id: 'fieldHandle',
        description: 'fieldHandle',
        image_link: 'fieldHandle',
        brand: 'fieldHandle',
        price: 'fieldHandle',
        currency: 'USD' // ISO code of the currency you want to use,
        google_product_category: 'fieldHandle'
   }) }}

If each of these fields are not pressent in the array, the feed will fail to validated and throw an expection.
