Unread Count (Tags extended extension)

monnierant

I'm trying to make a simple extension that show the number of unread discussion for each tag in the index page and the tags page.

The purpose of this is to see in one page where there is update to read.

I have started with the extension guide and i succeed in creating the base module.

Now i'm trying to match the way of working of Flarum embeded extension.

And i get stuck with an issue of psr-4.

I get issue with loading a class for AddClientAssets

My test lead me to resume the issue by this error message.

bootstrap.php can't load the Class.

Fatal error: Class 'Nefald\Unreadcount\Listener\AddClientAssets' not found in /Users/antoine.monnier/Sites/flarum/flarum/extensions/nefald-unreadcount/bootstrap.php on line 14

Here you can see the git of the extension project.
http://git.nefald.fr/monnierant/nefald-unreadcount

I have check multiple times the composer.json and the bootstrap.php and the src/Listener/AddClientAssets

but i'm realy lost with this issue

thanks in advance for your help.

monnierant Hmm, is there any chance that you added the autoload rules to composer.json after running composer install?

In that case, running composer dumpautoload will fix this issue. 🙂

monnierant

ho you are right thanks a lot for your answer i test it right now and i try to go further.

monnierant

Still the same issue.

I try to run composer dumpautoload at the root of my extension folder (nefald-unreadcount)

After reading again the starting guide i don't see any composer install.

So i try to run the composer install from the root extension folder with this issue:

it3:nefald-unreadcount antoine.monnier$ composer install
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- The requested package flarum/tags could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

Potential causes:
- A typo in the package name
- The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.

Read <https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

Franz

Hmm, I just cloned your repository, and everything works, once I add this line to the composer.json file:

"minimum-stability": "beta"

Then, run composer install and that should work. 🙂

monnierant

Thanks for your help.

So it's certainly this settings or a miss configuration for my part.

I will test all of it and come back here.

Thanks a lot for your time and your help.

Hi.

Ok now i'm completely lost.

I have completely restart flarum instalation from scratch. and i still have the issue.

So here is what i have done.

1) Remove flarum folder and mysqldatabase
2) Create a new and different flarum folder
3) Go into this folder and run composer create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta
4) Go to extension folder and run command git clone http://git.nefald.fr/monnierant/nefald-unreadcount
5) Create a new flarum database in utf8_general_ci
6) Install Flarum form localhost/~antoine.monnier/flarum
7) Create a new tag test2 in the forum
8) Edit the extension/Unreadcount/composer.json to add the "minimum-stability": "beta"
9) Go to extension/Unreadcount and run composer install
10) Go to flarum admin panel and activate my extension
11) get the issue

For information all the flarum folder is under chmod 775

Franz

monnierant Hmm, extensions should be installed directly with Composer, not by manually cloning them ito the extensions folder.

You can do that, for example, with the following command: composer require nefald/flarum-unreadcount. That will download your extension along with all of its dependencies (or at least those that Flarum itself does not provide already) and even store it in the extensions folder for you.

Please try that and see if it works better for you. Thanks for your patience. 🙂

Hi first of all thank you for your patience.

I will take the time to do it corectly and value your work.

You give me a very good feedback and help.

I just don't understand how composer can download my extension as he dont know my git.

(I will try it tommorow to check but i don't realy understand how it work)

Ps: if i succeed in making this extension i will give a feedback on how i made it to improve the doc about creating extension to help the comunity too.

Franz

monnierant I just don't understand how composer can download my extension as he dont know my git.

You need to register your package with Packagist - that's where Composer looks for package sources.

monnierant

Yhea i have found it by myself.

For now i'm trying to fix version numbers to let composer download correctly my extension from my git.

I keep you in touch with the results of all my stuff.

Franz

You still need to add it to Packagist, though - I can't find it on there...

monnierant

ho i have add the package into the composer.json of the my flarum instalation.

let me check Packagist right now

Again thanks a lot for your help.

monnierant

I have add it to Packagist but composer can't find it now.

packagist.org/packages/nefald/flarum-unreadcount

Franz

Give it a bit of time; if it was just registered, it sometimes takes a few minutes.

What is the error message when it can't find the package?

monnierant

You was right just test again and it work to get the package.

I wil go further and keep you in touch.

Thanks a lot again for your time and your advises

monnierant

Ok so now it well download the extension enamble it directly and crash with the same issue.

monnierant

i woder if i have not a permission issue after cloning the git. Let me try to update the extension and use chmod -R 775 on my extension folder

monnierant

Yhea it finaly work.

The error message disapear.

Now time to go to real work and try to make the extension.

I think i will come back in this poste when i get some question (and i think i will have some).

Again thanks a lot for your wonderfull support and help. I know it's time consuming and it's very nice to see your reactivity.

I hope i could make a good extension to help the comunity.
