[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/db5a21a346f07a1a7d8bcca8f3a666a3e3900fc681a6bbef88c1c0885498ce67/687474703a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7472617669732f66616e63796775792f636f6d706f7365722d776f726470726573732d706c7567696e2e737667)](http://travis-ci.org/fancyguy/composer-wordpress-plugin)

This is a Composer plugin to add WordPress packages from the SVN repository.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

This plugin needs to be globally installed in order to initialize the repositories early enough.

```
composer global require fancyguy/composer-wordpress-plugin

```

Repositories
------------

[](#repositories)

**WordPressCoreRepository** - This provides the `wordpress/wordpress` package from SVN as a source install and from the API as a dist install.

**WordPressThemeRepository** - This exposes themes on wordpress.org as `wordpress-theme/*` from the SVN for source or the API for dist.

**WordPressPluginRepository** - This exposes plugins on wordpress.org as `wordpress-plugin/*` from the SVN for source or the API for dist.

Installers
----------

[](#installers)

**CoreInstaller** - This installs the `wordpress-core` package, writes `wp-config.php` and generates salts.

**ThemeInstaller** - This installs `wordpress-theme` packages into the configured theme directory.

**PluginInstaller** - This installs the `wordpress-plugin` packages into the configured plugin directory.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The installers use the following default configuration to define the corresponding constants in `wp-config.php`

```
{
    "extra": {
        "wordpress": {
            "webroot": "wordpress",
            "content-path": "wp-content",
            "themes-path": "${contentPath}/themes",
            "plugins-path": "${contentPath}/plugins",
            "mu-plugins-path": "${contentPath}/mu-plugins"
        }
    }
}
```
