First, create a list of your symlinks, using the notation link -> target, one per line. You can use tags if you need to.

For instance:

(/path/to/myapp_links.txt)

$myAppDir/planets -> $planetsDir 
$myAppDir/www/libs/assetloader -> $planetsDir/AssetLoader/www/libs/assetloader 
$myAppDir/www/libs/flue -> $planetsDir/Flue/www/libs/flue 
$myAppDir/www/libs/htmltemplate -> $planetsDir/HtmlTemplate/www/libs/htmltemplate 
$myAppDir/www/libs/jajaxloader -> $planetsDir/JAjaxLoader/www/libs/jajaxloader 
$myAppDir/www/libs/jdragslider -> $planetsDir/JDragSlider/www/libs/jdragslider 
$myAppDir/www/libs/jfullscreen -> $planetsDir/JFullScreen/www/libs/jfullscreen 
$myAppDir/www/libs/jimagerotator -> $planetsDir/JImageRotator/www/libs/jimagerotator 
$myAppDir/www/libs/jinfiniteslider -> $planetsDir/JInfiniteSlider/www/libs/jinfiniteslider 
$myAppDir/www/libs/jitemslider -> $planetsDir/JItemSlider/www/libs/jitemslider 
$myAppDir/www/libs/jvideoplayer -> $planetsDir/JVideoPlayer/www/libs/jvideoplayer 
$myAppDir/www/libs/screendebug -> $planetsDir/ScreenDebug/www/libs/screendebug 
$myAppDir/www/libs/tim -> $planetsDir/Tim/www/libs/tim 
$myAppDir/www/libs/vswitch -> $planetsDir/VSwitch/www/libs/vswitch 
$myAppDir/www/templates/jvp/jvp.mantis.htpl -> $planetsDir/JVideoPlayer/www/templates/jvp.mantis.htpl 

Then, you can do one of the following:

• create/check the links

Check the links

Create a script with the following content and run it, this will create the links as specified in your links file.

<?php


use Ling\Linker\LinkerTool;

require_once "bigbang.php"; // start the local universe


$f = "/path/to/myapp_links.txt";
$vars = [
    '$myAppDir' => '/path/to/myapp',
    '$planetsDir' => '/path/to/myframework/planets',
];

LinkerTool::checkByFile($f, $vars);
