Install old version

Artuu

Welcome! Could I install the 0.1.0-beta.7 version and not in 0.1.0-beta.7.2? When I install with this command composer create-project flarum/flarum www --stability=beta, I install a version 0.1.0-beta.7.2 that I don't want.

Artuu Stop being silly.

010101 In the sense of typing composer create-project flarum/flarum:0.1.0-beta7 www -s beta, I still have a version 0.1.0-beta.7.2 installed.

Artuu I’m sorry. Someone will help you. I don’t know why that is not working.

But, why do you want to install an outdated version with security issues?

Artuu

Because many of the extensions I used are not available in the new version of flarum.

Artuu They should all be compatible, Betas 7.1 and 7.2 have broken nothing unless an extension somehow relied on security hacks.

What extensions are you having problems with?

Artuu

jordanjay29 My mistake. I was typing the following command incorrectly
luceos I know, but I wanted to see if there will still be a bug in the new version.

When I analyzed what I was typing in ssh, I noticed that I was installing plugins with a bad (non-existent) command.

Beta 7.2 is not beta 8.

Artuu is this resolved, then?

Artuu

jordanjay29 Yes, thank you.

How to install version 7.2 instead of 8.1 ?

Artuu

Pirat Try this command, it should help composer create-project flarum/flarum:0.1.0-beta7 www -s beta, but if you still have a problem, change beta7 to beta... - 7.2, 7.1 or7.0.

This won't work. It will install the old skeleton with the latest extensions. Because the skeleton loads extensions with a minimum requirement.

theportablegeek

luceos Is it even possible to install 7.2 anymore?

jordanjay29

luceos This won't work. It will install the old skeleton with the latest extensions. Because the skeleton loads extensions with a minimum requirement.

So, theportablegeek, the short answer is no.

theportablegeek

jordanjay29 Any chance the long answer might mean a workaround to install 7.2? 😬

luceos

Install the old skeleton using the command:

$ composer create-project flarum/flarum:0.1.0-beta.7 . --no-install -s beta

Then update composer.json and change ALL constraints under the require section to * except for flarum/core, set that one to 0.1.0-beta.7.2, then run

$ composer update --prefer-dist --no-dev -o

Try to identify whether any of the extensions are misbehaving, for those you might need to set a constraint to a version of that extension compatible only with 0.1.0-beta.7 or higher; this requires some research.

Please be warned! We highly advice you to install the latest version at all times! Not upgrading means your forum might be open to security issues at some point. When installing older versions the support we can provide becomes limited. Do not harass extension developers asking which versions are compatible with beta 7, you can check the versions table on the extension detail pages over at flagrow.io.

I am posting this to prevent answers that are no solution to the question.

Edit december 2020: check extiverse.com and the extiverse helper for compatibility. Do not install beta 7 software, install the latest version at all times. Your forum is at risk if you install older versions!

luceos Thank you so much for this! I just want to tell you what an amazing community and platform you have helped create here (and with Flagrow) and I hope that I will soon be able to give back a bit more than I take!
