  • Extension Manager Stable Release & Install Flarum Via ZIP File

One thing I finally figured out after just about getting frustrated and hope this helps others. After the recent update to the Extension Manager extension it deleted my authentication token for premium extensions on Extiverse so if your able to check for extensions but unable to install or update extensions using the Extension Manager and you have premium extensions from Extiverse installed make sure your authentication token is showing up. If not readd it and MAKE sure you hit save changes.

I was getting so frustrated with not being able to install or update using this extension I was about to just give up and just delete everything but I noticed in one of the composer outputs in the Extension Manager failed installs or updates that it mentioned about authentication and I noticed there was none. So I added it back and now I can install and update using this extension again. So if you have premium extensions installed make sure it still shows an entry under authentication cause if not you may have the same issues I did, Hope this helps someone.

Global Update appears to be downloading everything, this happened once I figured it was an oddity but two days and twice it's done exactly this - doesn't seem like this is intended.

    RelicSystem it's intended. It downloads everything anew and then replaces the old vendor.

    This prevents a big issue with composer crashing when it downloads it's own dependencies.

        Hello, I had an issue after installing this extension. I cannot clear the cache on the admin dashboard. Every time I save something on the admin dashboard, I get an error, but the settings are saved. Every time I enable or disable an extension in the admin dashboard, I also get an error, but when I try to refresh the page, it's done too.

        I already remove this extension manager but the issue is still there.

        This is an error when i try to clear cache on the admin dashboard.

          pxnji check the Flarum log file or try running the php flarum cache:clear command from SSH.

          https://docs.flarum.org/troubleshoot

          The IOException error just means the cache clear command failed in the background. Details will only be logged to the command line or log file.

          It has likely nothing to do with the Extension Manager at all. Likely relates to filesystem permissions.

              pxnji refer to the section on the Flarum install guide in regards to ownership and permissions.

                  pxnji what user runs the site as and what user owns the storage/cache directory?

                      pxnji please share the exact error message found in the Flarum log file. If it's a filesystem issue, it will say which folder(s) are not configured properly. And if it's something else then the error message is the only way we will be able to help.

                          luceos I found out there is a folder inside storage/cache that the user who owns it is root. So, I changed it to www, and then it's fixed.

                          clarkwinkelmann Everything is fixed now.

                          Thank you guys!

                              I installed this extension after upgrading flarum to 1.8.5. When I try to turn on the extension, I can't. It goes back to "Disable"

                              What happens?

                              8 days later

                              Installed the extension manager and it works well but when I install an extension i get the message:

                              Oops! Something went wrong. Please reload the page and try again.

                              But when I reload the page, the extension has installed successfully. Is there something I can do to fix this?

                                luceos

                                What am I looking for in here. I can see this mentioning extension manager:

                                #3 /vendor/flarum/extension-manager/src/Support/Util.php(68): Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArgvInput->__toString()

#5 /vendor/flarum/extension-manager/src/Command/RequireExtensionHandler.php(79): Flarum\ExtensionManager\Composer\ComposerAdapter->run()

                                I can see an error at the top of the log but not sure how connected that is?
                                [2024-05-15 11:48:33] flarum.ERROR: Error: Call to undefined function Symfony\Component\Console\Input\escapeshellarg() in /vendor/symfony/console/Input/Input.php:195

                                I don't know if you need the full log file or not to see what's going on? I've just tried to install another plugin to reproduce the error and it writes another log file for today with several rows on it.

                                  a month later

                                  What will the authentication section be like?
