Automatically load Pico plugins from the Composer vendor directory. This avoids unneccesary cluttering of the plugins directory and loads the plugins via a helper plugin based on your config settings.

Step 1: add this repository to your composer.json

"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "vcs",
    "url": "https://github.com/rbnvrw/pico-load-plugins-composer"
  }
],
"require": {
  "rbnvrw/pico-load-plugins-composer": "dev-master"
}

Save the file and run composer update.

Step 2: add a loader file to the plugins directory

For this plugin to work, add a file pico_load_plugins_composer.php to the plugins directory with the following contents:

<?php

include_once(ROOT_DIR.'vendor/rbnvrw/pico-load-plugins-composer/pico_load_plugins_composer.php');

This will load the plugin, which in turn will load other plugins from the Composer vendor directory.

Step 3: edit the config.php file to add plugins

$config['composer_plugins'] = array(
	// Path to vendor directory relative to the Pico root directory
	// Default: vendor
	'path' => 'vendor',
	
	// List of all the plugins you'd like to add
	'plugins' => array(
		array(
		  // Name of the class
			'name' => 'adv_meta',
			// Name of the repository
			'repository' => 'adv-meta',
			// Author
			'author' => 'rbnvrw'
		),
		array(
			'name' => 'pico_multilanguage',
			'repository' => 'pico_multilanguage',
			'author' => 'rbnvrw'
		),
		array(
			'name' => 'pico_placing',
			'repository' => 'Pico-Placing',
			'author' => 'rbnvrw'
		)
	)
);
