Install instructions
Installation
To install this extension, follow these steps:
Since the documentation here have formatting issues, please see installation instructions https://github.com/mooeypoo/Nova-ExtensionManager
- Download the ExtensionManager files and extract them into
application/extensions/ExtensionManager
- Find the file
application/config/extensions.php
and, at the end, add the code that appears in the instructions at https://github.com/mooeypoo/Nova-ExtensionManager
(I did not include the code here because it appears completely mangled. Please make sure to copy the code properly from the above link)
You should now have a menu item in your admin control panel for "Manage Extensions".
PLEASE NOTE If you had any previous extensions that were enabled through the config/extensions.php
file, they will need to be re-enabled through the manager.
NOTE #2: Make sure that the declaration of the ExtensionManager is the last thing in the config/extensions.php
file, and that no extensions are declared as enabled after that declaration.
Usage
With this extension, you will no longer need to touch the configuration file when installing other extensions.
If you want to install another extension, you'll need to download and extract it into the application/extensions/EXTENSION_NAME
and you won't need to do anything else in the folders.
To manage your extensions, go to your Control Panel, and look for "Manage Extensions" link. This is where you can enable and disable available extensions.
