Composer phpBB 3.1 installer
============================

[](#composer-phpbb-31-installer)

This is a composer script which installs phpBB 3.1 to a given web root. The phpbb files are copied from its vendor dir. Existing files are overwritten. So make sure you don't hack the phpBB source files but use [extensions](https://wiki.phpbb.com/Category:Extensions) and [child themes](https://wiki.phpbb.com/Template_Inheritance_Changes_in_3.1).

Although this is tested on Windows 8.1 and [vagrant-phpbb](https://github.com/xtreamwayz/vagrant-phpbb), **use at your own risk!!!** Make backups and preferable use a [test server](https://github.com/xtreamwayz/vagrant-phpbb) before messing up your production server.

To let phpBB know where the vendor lib is located, 2 settings are added to `.htaccess`. So don't hack into this file.

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

[](#getting-started)

1. In your composer.json project file require phpbb-installer.

    ```
     "require": {
         "xtreamwayz/phpbb-installer": "dev-master",
         "phpbb/phpbb": "3.1.*",
         "composer/installers": "~1.0"
     }

    ```
2. Add the installer scripts.

    ```
     "scripts": {
         "post-update-cmd": "XtreamWayz\\PhpbbInstaller\\ScriptHandler::install",
         "post-install-cmd": "XtreamWayz\\PhpbbInstaller\\ScriptHandler::install"
     },

    ```
3. Configure the `php-install-dir` and the `installer-paths` for phpBB extensions, styles and languages.

    ```
     "extra": {
         "phpbb-install-dir"                 : "public",
         "installer-paths": {
             "public/ext/{$vendor}/{$name}/" : ["type:phpbb-extension"],
             "public/styles/{$name}/"        : ["type:phpbb-style"],
             "public/language/{$name}/"      : ["type:phpbb-language"]
         }
     }

    ```
4. Add phpBB extensions and themes.

    ```
     "require": {
         ...
         "xtreamwayz/activity": "dev-master",
         "xtreamwayz/portal": "dev-master",
         "xtreamwayz/tools": "dev-master"
     },
     "require-dev": {
         "nicofuma/webprofiler": "~1.0",
     }

    ```

Run `composer install` or `composer update`.

A full working example can be viewed in the [vagrant-phpbb](https://github.com/xtreamwayz/vagrant-phpbb) project.
