Adding sample extension - not showing up in admin page

manny

Hi guys!

First of all, great software! I love it.

I am now trying following this guide: http://flarum.org/docs/extend/start/
According to the documentation I shall create a folder called acme-hello-world and place it into extension directory vendor/flarum . However in the composer.json it says acme/flarum-hello-world .
I am confused now where to place folder in the directory and if refreshing admin extensions page is enough to see test extension appearing.

So I placed the folder flarum-ext-hello-world containing the files bootstrap and composer into folder flarum and refreshed the admin page. I could not see any added extension.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your answer!

Create a folder in root and give it a specific name. Like: extensions or ext.

Add this to your composer.json

 
"repositories": [{
    "type": "path",
    "url": "DIRECTORYNAME/*/"
}],

And this in require:

    "require": {
        "AUTHOR/EXTENSION NAME": "*@dev"
    }

Don't forget to update your composer with the following command: composer update

Thank you, I was able to add extension and it appeared in the admin page.

Maybe it would be helpful to add the link provided by @Pollux in this short tutorial http://flarum.org/docs/extend/start/ for newbies.
