Domain based installer

alexbnc

I am going to use the same source code for a series of domains that will point to the same directory (from where Flarum will be served) but each one will have its own database. Now, what I want is that every time I enter a domain for the first time (when the database is not created) the installer would show up. Right now, the installer is shown when the configuration file does not exist. What I am thinking is:

The configuration file should contain an array of settings for each domain
If the current domain has no settings in the configuration file, show installer and create settings array for it
Everywhere in the code, settings should be domain based

Now, can this be done with an extension? I suppose there are no events to use for this purpose yet

@luceos was working on a multitenancy extension at one point.

I suspect he may have some ideas about how this can be accomplished.

luceos

Dominion yes, no progress so far. Although flarum.today actually is some form of multi tenancy. It includes a configuration file based on the requested hostname.

Dynamically creating a tenant config file (after showing the wizard) does require a custom extension though.

I have cloned the https://github.com/hyn/flarum-multi-tenant extension and enabled it but I get an error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Function Hyn\MultiTenant\Extension() does not exist' in /vagrant/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php on line 559

ReflectionException: Function Hyn\MultiTenant\Extension() does not exist in /vagrant/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php on line 559

alexbnc You can't just clone it inside the extensions folder. You have to install extensions via composer.

Dominion

I believe that code is a work in progress, and not ready for use with the current version of Flarum.

I linked it mainly to show that @luceos had started working on the multi tenancy idea. You'll have to ask him what needs to be done to make the extension usable with the latest beta version of Flarum.

alexbnc

I really don't see how this is possible when extensions are loaded after the application is created. Now, to be honest, I am still a beginner in the misterious ways of Laravel, so I hope there is a way

alexbnc the flarum multi tenant extension is currently stale.

As for your question how an extension/package can modify the behavior of Flarum/Laravel when the application is created, I suggest you check out my multi tenancy package for Laravel instead. It's fully working.

As for a release date for the flarum-multi-tenant package I can give you no answer. There are other projects and packages that currently receive a higher priority. For instance Flagrow and the Guardian package moved to that namespace.

alexbnc

luceos Thank you. I will keep documenting myself and try to bring it to a working state

alexbnc

Davis I have. I mean, I have executed composer and the vendor folder with the autoload.php file has been generated. The Hyn\MultiTenant namespace is in flarum-multi-tenant/src/Extension.php but the error says it is not found in /vagrant/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php

luceos

alexbnc my Flarum tenancy package is not usable yet. It's not compatible with the latest beta.
