Composer Installation 2023-03-22

  • The composer.phar is downloaded to a temp directory first, then renamed to composer and moved to /usr/local/bin so that it can be called globally
    • # sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Design Processes

  • Mainly followed the idea in “Simple WordPress Plugin Development – Start to Finish” by Mr Digital.
  • Define the class IvrAioSlider in main php file.
    • define method __construct( )
    • define method init( )
  • Initiate the IvrAioSlider class then call the method init( ).
  • Install Carbon Fields to the vendor directory
    • It is not recommended to run Composer as root.
    • Run $ composer require htmlburger/carbon-fields-plugin
  • Uninstall Carbon Fields due to a reason outlined in Notes below.
    • $ composeer remove htmlburger/carbon-fields-plugin

Notes

  • As per some forums,, Carbon Fields is no longer working after WordPress 6.4, due to the abendon of a library in WP. The attempt to create an option page was also failed. Therefore, the plugin design has given up CF and an alternative will be found.
  • Explore the UI of these plugins : Serious Slider, OWL Carousel and some others.
  • After composer.json is edited, run the command below to effect the changes.
    • $ composer dump-autoload if the change is related to autoload
    • $ composer install if the change is related to autoload or package installation
  • After creating a new class or file, run www-chxy.sh to change the ownership and permission in order to prevent Class not Found error.
