Note that it's currently unclear whether Silverstripe Cloud or CWP support this,
but it shouldn't block us from recommend this in the open source project.
It's documented in the "server requirements", which should make it pretty
clear that this requires you to have control over server configuration (or check with those that have).
See https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/7710
Before running a dev/build the first time, you need to specify dev as your environment type. The variable wasn't mentioned as part of the list so I've added it. Let me know if it's not clear about the difference between the states, or it should be better documented here somehow.
See https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/9232.
Also simplifies composer instructions a bit:
- Removes composer update --no-dev references, that's a bit of an edge case that people can just discover on getcomposer.org if they need it
- Changed example from the unused and oudated silverstripe/forum to silverstripe/blog
- Updated example versions to 4.x
- Remove "updating composer" section, it now tells you if its out of date
- Remove ss-auto-git-ignore module reference. The module hasn't been updated in ages, and it's much less necessary now that all relevant modules are on composer
- Add .env example config to getting started docs, I didn't realise it was stripped from the default --prefer-dist composer install
* Remove installer
* Remove exposed install files
* Replace Dev/Install classes still in use
* Update changelog
* FIX make the grid field actions consistent to what they look like on pages
Resolves https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-admin/issues/904
* Docs changes
* Remove overly specific PHP RNG instructions (that's just built into PHP7 through random_bytes now, which will throw if no suitable RNG is available)
* Remove PHP 5 RNG requirements, since we don't support that PHP release any mre
* Remove verbose explanation of PHP 5.6 support
* Remove conflicting instructions for PHP memory limits
* Remove version numbers from supporetd databases other than MySQL, it's up to the community modules to define that
* Remove Oracle support (code is nine years old!)
* Make "community supported" status clearer on databases, people can draw their own conclusions as open source users on Github
* Remove IIS version number, I think we should just stick to "needs web.config" and not give the impression that this is actively tested
* Remove mention of OSes for web servers, that's kind of irrelevant in today's hosting world (containers, PaaS, etc)
* Shorten install instructions in favour of a "quickstart" and point to lessons instead
* Remove mention of archive download option, we really shouldn't promote this - composer is the de-facto standard
* Add generic descriptions of the hosting environment considerations without going too much into specifics
* Remove Apache version number, we don't test on different versions, and really mostly rely on mod_rewrite working properly. Laravel does the same (doesn't claim specific Apache version support)
They don't account for protected files, or clear public webroot hosting.
I think this is more of a stackoverflow or forum.silverstripe.org article,
not something we should pretend to have official support for (or check for completeness and secure configuration)
This was discussed and agreed in #8556. The two changes are
composer.json and travis. The docs have also been updated. No other
code changes have been made.
* NEW Make resources dir configurable.
* Removing reference to old `resources` and updating doc #8519
* Rrtarget to 4.4 release.
* DOC Reference SS_RESOURCES_DIR in Environment doc.
* API Add a Resources method to SilverStripe\Core\Manifest\Module to read the resources-dir from composer.json
* Clean up reference to SS_RESOURCES_DIR env var
* Set default resources-dir
* Update test to use RESOURCES_DIR const in expected resource url method
* Correcting typos
