I'm full of suggestions today since I'm updating three Flarum sites. Update instructions should start with: 1) Deactivate all third party extensions. 2) Run composer why-not flarum/core v0.1.0-beta.15 <-- this gives you a heads up on why your update will be failing... so it's probably best to run it first and not only if you have an issue.

rdcrblx it can be on FreeFlarum, or anywhere since custom CSS is a core feature. You can use custom CSS at Admin > Appearance > Edit Custom CSS - just paste the code there and your buttons will look the same. This way, you can style other elements too.

    The new admin interface is pretty great. So much easier to find extensions, nice that they are also grouped into categories, plus permissions for the extensions being visible from each extensions dedicated settings panel is a convenient feature. I am liking everything so far in beta 15, great work flarum team and thank you for the early XMAS gift 🙂 🎄 ⛄️

      ctml I agree! The new admin dashboard is very nice. I’m sure there’s a lot of hidden updates that I don’t understand which are cool too. 😅

          010101 You would be correct, beta.15 primary goal was to replace events with extenders for extension developers to make use of. These extenders will overall make stable.... stable for developers. By getting all these extenders into place we've made some pretty huge progress towards our stable goals.

            [Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException]
            The "--no-install" option does not exist.

            how can i fix that?

              Justoverclock update composer composer selfupdate --2 or drop the --no-install flag if you can't update composer.

                  luceos IT doesn't work if composer is installed globally in usr/bin ☹️

                      HD3D probably because it's owned by root. Just prefix the command with sudo on shared hosting environments that won't be possible though. Nevertheless we should promote instructions for recent, stable tools, not outdated ones.

                          Finally decided to update.
                          First step was update composer to version 2 and then all run flawlessly.

                          Crossing my fingers to see improvements on SEO and into translations soon 👍️

                          luceos Silly me, I own the vps and I installed got it installed globally from the host, successfully updated to composer 2 with root access 😀

                            askvortsov i'm still on beta13 too. How about:

                            But I cannot update yet mostly for this missing feature: FriendsOfFlarum/gamification24

                            Or anything else that will excludes admins from the badges game or giving them a special one.

                                Kyrne 📛 New nicknames extension (flarum/nicknames)

                                There's a new nickname extension provided by the flarum team, I am using it and it works very well! I used to use the one you linked, but doesn't appear it's actively updated by the dev.

                                Kyrne [optional] If you'd like to add nicknames support:
                                composer require --no-update flarum/nicknames

                                        robinodds If I remember correctly we used the same database column as the nicknames changer extension specifically so that you wouldn't lose that data. Simple remove the nickname changer extension using composer and add flarum/nicknames and it should work. Do note that you have to set the nicknames extension as your display name driver under "Appearance" I believe.

                                          KolaBilewu I think the only issue is if your shared host hasn’t updated to composer 2 yet. If they have not... First, make 100% sure you don’t have any extensions installed which do not have a new beta 15 compatible version. Then run composer update ––with–all–dependencies.

                                          If the update fails, there’s still an extension causing a problem so follow this: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25733-troubleshooting-beta-15-update-non-composer-2-usersupdate-failed
