I was reminded today that in order to get symlinks to create on a windows machine that you need to “run as administrator” when starting your console, otherwise you’ll get an error like “Warning: symlink(): Cannot create symlink, error code(1314)” . While we’re on the topic, how about I demo how the autoloader is setup in my composer.json file along with the calling of post install and post update scripts.
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"Nick\\": "script/"
}
},
"require": {
"php": ">=5.4",
"wordpress/wordpress": "4.0"
},
"scripts": {
"post-install-cmd": [
"Nick\\Install::symlinks"
],
"post-update-cmd": [
"Nick\\Install::symlinks"
]
}, |
Then, my post install file lives at /script/Install.php
<?php namespace Nick; use Composer\Script\Event; class Install { public static function symlinks(Event $event) { $rootDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; $wordpressDir = $rootDir . 'vendor' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'wordpress' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'wordpress' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; //htaccess file if(! file_exists($wordpressDir . '.htaccess')) { symlink($rootDir . '.htaccess', $wordpressDir . '.htaccess'); } //wordpress config file if(! file_exists($wordpressDir . 'wp-config.php')) { symlink($rootDir . 'config' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'wp-config.php', $wordpressDir . 'wp-config.php'); } //wordpress db config file if(! file_exists($wordpressDir . 'db-config.php')) { symlink($rootDir . 'config' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'db-config.php', $wordpressDir . 'db-config.php'); } //wordpress if(! file_exists($rootDir . 'public' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'wp')) { symlink($wordpressDir, $rootDir . 'public' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'wp'); } } } |
Note that I’ve chosen to separate the database connection from the main wordpress config file so it can be ignored separately in version control.
