Material Design Extension (Theme) by Extum
- Edited
While I fix the issues of the theme, I need some of your ideas guys for new features. Maybe some suggestions, please?
PS: This is a screenshot of the upcoming Beta 3 release. It has some minor changes that fixes many issues. Help is highly needed at the repo for Beta 3 to be released. We're 4 days late for it.
If you can't help fixing issues or if you don't have any suggestions, there is something you can do to help.
You can report the missing Material icons at the repo (there is an issue template for it) by testing them at the group badge icon modification area. Just submit all missing icons you saw as issues one by one and I will add them.
I'm busy with fixing issues so I need help with that.
Many thanks to everyone who is supportive of this extension, we're making Flarum get better every day!

If you disable the extension you will destroy your flarum.. Keep backup.
Kryonoglou What exactly is destroyed?
Since this, apparently, only injects javascript and css, I can't see how it could destroy your forum?
If removing/deactivating it though, I would assume there will be cache issues, and thus have to run this:
php flarum cache:clear
That said,
I am somewhat unsure on what the correct procedure would be to completely uninstall this extension correctly.
Would the following be correct?
$ composer remove extum/flarum-ext-material --no-update
$ composer update extum/flarum-ext-material
$ php flarum cache:clear
If I understand it correctly, it should in theory remove files, auto-load cache and .lock/.json entries?
I disable the extension, remove it, clear the cache but still had the problem.. I was run backup to fix the problem.
Kryonoglou What was the symptoms of the crash?
Do you have CloudFlare or similar?
Did you get any error messages?
Would be good to know these as to figure out exactly what goes wrong, so it can be fixed ?
Ideally, you could open a new issue here: https://github.com/Extum/flarum-ext-material/issues with as much details for how to reproduce the problem ?
Will help future users of the extensions, or potential forks using this one as a foundation
Yes I have Cloudflare! I don't clean it. That was the problem?
Kryonoglou it might have been. Though, it depends on what your site said was broken.
I remove the plugin and the Material still was there. The button's was broken and write symbols..
Kryonoglou yea, it might indeed be a cache issues. Although. So in general these types:
- Flarums cache (you said you cleared)
- Cloudflares cache (did not clear)
- Browsers cache (CTRL+F5 - not sure if you cleared or not)
So, in your case most likely 2, or a combination of 2 and 3.
Maybe at some point we can have a cloudflare extension that ties in to a cache clear event and automates clearing the cf cache. Though, I believe that would be a paid effort, either a premium plugin, or paid developer time.
Though, that moving a tad bit outside this topic.
It would in any case be interesting to know if this was indeed the problem or not. Would you be willing to try again?
(If not I might at some point set up a test site for it when I have time)..
andreherberth reflar/uncache
has Cloudflare support for remote cache clearing ?
See: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/12399-uncache-by-reflar-no-more-cache-problems
Ok thank you very much!
So sorry for the issue @Kryonoglou.
Though, it's not a problem related to the extension. As the Material Extension is the first extension that is a theme for Flarum, you're just seeing this for the first time.
In the future, with themes packed as extensions, this issue will become more popular around Flarum users but as @Ralkage suggested, ReFlar's UnCache extension solves this cache issue easily without those terminal commands.
Many thanks for the interest in the Material Extension ?
Is this theme pushing for beta 8 any time soon?
MikeJones @arda needs to update this for Beta 8 standards as a few improvements can be made.
Changes that should be made:
- Remove locale folder and file because the en.yml locale is basically empty and is a waste of space.
- Make changes on par with Beta 8 such as dropping the AddClientAssets class and add what you need to the new extend.php file.
- You can use the new Content extender as well to add your external CSS and JS references.
- Thats all I can think of for now, other than those million issues opened needing to be closed or revisited
Hi MikeJones we thank you for listing your concern, I am Nathan, however I am unable to remember my login details for Flarum so I created a new account. I will begin working on the theme shortly, but not at this minute. You should expect to have the Material Theme to contain more configuration options, be compatible with the latest of Flarum, and newly coded and designed.
Ralkage I am looking into the issues and why one major one is occurring with layout, some how I managed to break some of it, while working on the new grid. If we restart the project layout files (CSS, LESS, SASS, and SCSS) then I should be able to rule out the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and incompatibility that has grown on the Extum Material Design Theme, however this was brought on by challenges of other projects.

Did the Forget Password link not work for you? Please try that.
If it does not work, link your original account and I can restore your access if you like.
jordanjay29 No it's fine, kinda too late already, just linked my GitHub to this one
