FAQ

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?

Manual installation

Add a composer dependency for this bundle. Therefore, change in the project root and run the following:

Depending on your environment, the command can differ, i.e. starting with php composer.phar … if you do not have composer installed globally.

Bundle configuration

Default configuration:

host: The host to use for shortlinks. Can be different than the website host, but make sure it is set up on your hosting/server.
prefix: Optionally configure a prefix, e.g. go/ to generate with all shortlinks.
min_length: Minimum lengths of shortlinks. Applies to the generated hash ID as well as to the alias input in the back end.

This can be useful if you want to use the same domain for shortlinks and a regular website. By setting the shortlink length to something higher than the root page URL prefix, you can make sure there's never a conflict between a shortlink and the regular website.
catchall_redirect: If you configure a host exclusively for shortlinks, you can redirect all unknown requests to a URL (e.g. your regular website).
salt: If a shortlink does not have a custom alias (path), a unique hash ID is generated from the database ID. By changing the salt you can get unique IDs for your installation.
log_ip: This extension records how often a shortlink is accessed. Enable this flag to also capture IP addresses (not allowed under DSGVO in europe!)
