Description of how to install extensions that are not part of the default TAO package. Some extensions are deprecated or experimental so please proceed at your own risk.

A list of released extensions can be found here.

Download

Depending on your install there are two different ways to get an extension:

Composer Install

If you installed TAO using composer, simply run the following line in the root of TAO:

composer require PACKAGE_NAME

Packaged Version

If you installed TAO from a package downloaded at http://www.taotesting.com you will need to:

  • Download the extension from GitHub (https://github.com/oat-sa).
  • Unzip the content and rename it according to the tao-extension-name specified in the composer.json. Place this renamed folder in the web root of TAO.
  • Manually modify the composer autoloader.

For example: If the composer.json includes

"psr-4" : {
    "oat\\SOMENAME\\" : ""
}

the following line would need to be added to /vendor/composer/autoload_psr4.php:

'oat\\SOMENAME\\' => array($baseDir . '/SOMENAME'),

Install

  • Log into TAO as a System Administrator.
  • Open the Extensions Manager (Under “Settings” in the upper right corner).
  • Select the extension you downloaded and click on install (If the extension is missing in the list please verify the path and the file permissions).
