Requirements

• eZ Platform 1.5 or later
• eZ Systems LandingPageFieldType 1.5 or later

Installation

This package is available via Composer, so the instructions below are similar to how you install any other open source Symfony Bundle., _(*4)

Run the following command in a terminal, from your Symfony installation root (pick the most recent release):, _(*5)

composer require clash82/ezplatform-studio-tips-block

Enable the bundle in app/AppKernel.php file:, _(*6)

$bundles = array(
    // IMPORTANT: Clash82EzPlatformStudioTipsBlockBundle must be placed above LandingPageFieldTypeBundle to work properly
    new Clash82\EzPlatformStudioTipsBlockBundle\Clash82EzPlatformStudioTipsBlockBundle(),

    // existing bundles   
    new EzSystems\LandingPageFieldTypeBundle\EzSystemsLandingPageFieldTypeBundle(),
    ...
);

Install additional assets (CSS) for default template (omit this step if you are planning to use custom stylesheets):, _(*7)

{% stylesheets
    'bundles/clash82ezplatformstudiotipsblock/css/style.css'
%}
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ asset_url }}">
{% endstylesheets %}

If you are installing the bundle via composer require you must also copy assets to your project's web directory. You can do this by calling Symfony's built-in command from the project root directory:, _(*8)

php app/console assets:install --symlink

In production environment you have to dump assets using the Assetic built-in command:, _(*9)

php app/console assetic:dump -e=prod

Install new Tip ContentType using a built-in installer:, _(*10)

php app/console ezstudio:tips-block:install

Usage

First you have to create a new Folder and add some tips using the new Tip ContentType. After that, go to the eZ Studio dashboard and drag a new Tips block into a selected zone in your landing page. Click on the block settings and choose a folder as a Parent container. After publishing you should see a new block with a randomly selected tips., _(*11)
