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.

Informations about the package porter

Vanilla Porter

Vanilla Porter is a nifty tool for exporting your old & busted forum into a fresh Vanilla Forum. It will create a zipped text file that can be imported directly to Vanilla via the Dashboard.

Do NOT use Vanilla Porter for UPGRADING. It is for migrating from other forums, including the incompatible Vanilla 1.x series.

Requirements

Porter requires PHP 5.3+ and a connection to your existing database. That's it!

Getting started

Please use the official release, which is a single file. View the official documentation for important usage notes.

If you have a PHP-based forum (vBulletin, phpBB, etc) you can likely drop this right on your server and run it from there. For more complicated arrangements (like jForum, i.e. a Java environment), we suggest exporting your database to a PHP/MySQL server and running it there.

Roll your own!

To support a new forum source, copy "sample_package.php", rename it to your platform, put it in the packages folder, and follow its inline documentation.

You can run Vanilla Porter via index.php which will use the source files rather than the single-file official release. This makes it easier to keep it up-to-date and debug problems.

Send us a pull request when it's ready, and sign our contributor's agreement (requires a vanillaforums.org forum account).

Command line support

Porter can run via the command line. Execute the index.php file with the --help flag for a full list of options.

For developers with very large databases or ones still in production, we recommend running your export from the command line on your localhost environment with a copy of the database. It just makes life easier.

Building a release

Run make.php, which will build a single file named vanilla2export.php. Easy peasy.
