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 contao-inserttags

terminal42/contao-inserttags

Adds a back end module to define your custom insert tags. You can limit an insert tag to certain pages, show it to guests only, or restrict it to certain logged in front end member groups.

For more complex use cases, the extension also supports Contao's Simple Token syntax, which allows for more powerful and dynamic replacements.

Example token

Supported Simple Tokens

The Simple Tokens are split into two types:

Evaluation tokens

The evaluation tokens are meant to be used in the conditional statements and have a format of token.property.

Here is a list of supported evaluation tokens:

  1. member.* – current member properties, if logged in. Caution, it can be null if no member is logged in!
  2. page.* – current page properties.

Examples:

Note: Always check for page and member before doing comparisons. If you are in the Contao back end, none of them are set.

Replacement tokens

The replacement tokens are meant to be used to output the data and have a format of ##token_property##.

Here is a list of supported replacement tokens:

  1. ##member_*## – current member properties, if logged in.
  2. ##page_*## – current page properties.

Examples:

Comments

From version 2.1.0 you can use comments to describe the replacements:

If you would like to use a hash as the first character of the line, you can escape it as follows: \#.

Security concerns

Q: Why there are two types of token?

A: The evaluation tokens refer to the real objects. However, the objects should NEVER be used as replacement tokens due to security reasons. For that, we introduced the replacement tokens which contain the plain string data.

Q: Why there is no support for the request?

A: The request may contain malicious data that is provided e.g., as a query parameter, and it could be dangerous to allow users to display it in the frontend.

Q: Why there is no support for tag parameters like {{custom::my_tag::my_param_1::my_param_2}}?

A: The tag parameters cannot be validated which is potentially dangerous.

Upgrade from version 1.x

Some options present in version 1.x have been removed. All changes are described below.

Removed "timing"

The timing feature has been removed completely, because it would kill HTTP caching. If you need a replacement, please consider a JavaScript solution.

Removed "limitLanguages"

This option has been removed completely, use the limiting insert tags to certain pages feature instead.

Removed "useCondition"

This option has been removed completely as this too, would make HTTP caching impossible.

Removed "useCounter"

This option has been removed completely as this too, would make HTTP caching impossible.

Removed "mode"

This option has been removed completely, as insert tags are only present in the front end.

Removed "cacheOutput"

This option has been removed completely as it is not required in version 2 anymore.
