Customizing Packages

Packages is easy to customize. Modify your Packages installation to suit your needs.

Modifying the landing page

The main landing page layout exists in views/Default/base.html.twig. You can modify this file as necessary to customize Packages to suit your project or company.

Setting up Packages for development

Notice: This section is a work-in-progress.

Fork the Packages repository on GitHub.

Clone your fork.

Edit composer.json to add your own namespace to the autoloader, if necessary.

Add upstream remote.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/terramar-labs/packages.git

Follow the normal install process: modify config.yml, install dependencies, create database and schema.

Now visit web/index_dev.php to start Packages in the dev environment. Caching is disabled and helpful errors are displayed.
