Installing a bundle without support for composer

[matdev]

Hello,

I am trying to install this bundle in my Symfony 2.1 project:
https://github.com/GaYAlab/IoFormBundle

The problem is that this bundle is for Symfony 2.0 with no support for Composer.

Is there a work around so that I can use it ?

Thanks
Mathias

Hi,

There's a composer.json in there, which means there's support for composer

add this to you composer.json (not sure on the exact syntax, DO double check it)

Code: Select all

"gayalab/ioformbundle": "dev-master"

and run php composer.phar install

Indeed. I am unable to install it though.

When I run the composer update, I get the following message:
- gayalab/ioformbundle dev-master requires symfony/framework-bundle 2.0.*

I'm not 100% sure, but i think that frameworkBundle uses the same version as symfony, so that would mean that that specific bundle requires sf2.0
Maybe try getting in touch with the project mantainer

cheers

In fact maybe you could help me. I am looking for a datepicker for my form. Do you know any sf 2.1 compatible bundle I could use for that ?

Sorry, I'm a backend programmer, I don't use JS

For a simple datepicker you don't need a full blown bundle IMHO. I always use the one that comes with jqueryui. BTW if you take a look at the sources of the bundle you are trying to install you'll see that it is in fact written for 2.0.x. Why not update it yourself and create a PR? I am sure the author would appreciate it.
