Download the PHP package trms/carousel without Composer

On this page you can find all versions of the php package trms/carousel. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.

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?

Basic Usage Examples

Creating a server instance

Server methods that return more than one object will return a collection, which can be treated like an array.

Requesting Carousel Resources

All of the requests for Carousel resources are created by instantiating a ModelRequest with the appropriate Model class name and passing that to the server's get method. Passing an array of parameters to the ModelRequest is also important so that your query is limited to the items you want to get.

For example, to get a set of bulletins in a given zone:

Saving a Resource

New or existing resources can be saved by passing them to the save method on a server instance.

Creating a Bulletin From A Template

Usually you will be creating new bulletins from existing templates. More information on Bulletins below.

Creating Content from File Uploads

You can create new Media and Bulletins by uploading a file to the Carousel Server. This is done by instantiating a FileUploadRequest with the appropriate Model class name and an array of parameters passed to the request. ZoneID is required. You will then add the files you wish to upload by chaining addFile methods and then pass the request to the server's upload method. This will return an array of models, one for each file that was added.
