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?

Informations about the package dcawizard

dcawizard Contao Extension

A backend widget for Contao that allows editors to manage records from a foreign database table directly within the parent record's edit form.

Installation

Install via Composer:

Basic Usage (DCA Example)

Supporting both versions simultaneously

If your project needs to support both Contao 5.6 and 5.7+, you can allow both major versions using a version union constraint in your composer.json:

Composer will then automatically install:

No code changes are needed on your end — the correct version will be resolved based on the Contao version constraint in your own composer.json.

If you want to support both 3.x and 4.x simultaneously with a custom template, you need to set customTpl dynamically at runtime rather than statically in the DCA, since the template name changed between versions. For example, you can use an attributes callback to detect the installed version and return the correct template name:

Migrating from 3.x to 4.x

The 4.x release is largely backwards compatible.

The list_callback option has been removed. To customize the record list rendering, override the {% block record %} block in a custom template that extends the default one:

Then reference your template via customTpl:

The default template name has also been renamed. If you have overridden it in your project, update it accordingly:

Version 3.x (.html5) Version 4.x (.html.twig)
be_widget_dcawizard backend/widget/dcawizard_custom
