A custom Composer plugin to install vtiger core outside of vendor.
This installer is meant to support a rather specific vtiger installation setup in which vtiger is installed in a subdirectory (see the vtiger codex on that subject) and in which the location of WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL have been customized to be outside of vtiger core (see the vtiger codex on that subject). This is because composer will delete your whole wp-content directory every time it updates core if you don't separate the two. If that installation setup isn't what you are looking for, then this installer is probably not something you will want to use.
For more information on this site setup and using Composer to manage a whole vtiger site, check out @Rarst's informational website which also includes a site stack example using this package.
To set up a custom vtiger build package to use this as a custom installer, add the following to your package's composer file:
"type": "vtiger-core",
"require": {
"javanile/vtiger-core-installer": "^2.0"
}If you need to maintain support for PHP versions lower than 5.6 (not recommended!), use ^1.0 as your version constraint in the above.
By default, this package will install a vtiger-core type package in the vtiger directory. To change this you can add the following to either your custom vtiger core type package or the root composer package:
"extra": {
"vtiger-install-dir": "custom/path"
}The root composer package can also declare custom paths as an object keyed by package name:
"extra": {
"vtiger-install-dir": {
"vtiger/vtiger": "vtiger",
"javanile/vtiger-core": "jpb-vtiger"
}
}This is licensed under the GPL version 2 or later.
- Added support for Composer v2. Special thanks to @Ayesh for the original pull request to add this support.
- Bumped minimum required PHP version to 5.6 (same as WP). If you need to stick with an older PHP version, you're probably ok with also sticking with an older version of Composer and can continue to use
^1.0as your version constraint. - Other various fixes and improvements to README, tests, etc.
- Initial stable release
- Added tests and CI
- Support added for custom vendor directories
- Added sanity check for overwriting sensitive directories
