Hi David,

What is the intended use case for this?

I see not many cases where you would want to do that...

Thanks,

There are, in fact, quite a few support questions on how to do just that. David probably made it for those that install 3.2 and have an extension that doesn't work in 3.2.

What is the intended use case for this?

My initial use for this was to disable all of my extensions when upgrading my live board from 3.1 to 3.2 - but another use is when you have a problem with an extension and you do not know which one. I find that where you have a number of extensions disabling them one at a time is a somewhat laborious process.

It is also useful in a development environment

So, this ext is just updating the "active"-field in the ext-table with "0" for all extensions?
Like UPDATE phphbb_ext SET ext_active = 0?

How do you install or call this ext if your acp (or complete board) is currently broken by a incompatible ext or a ext in error?

Perfect!

Im going to use it right now to find a problem in extensions.

Thank you!

Hi David... Have you got this ext but for 3.1 or can I use this one?

After I use it, my board went to inaccessible. I had to delete all data in foodomain/forum/cache. It works fine and its very good to find problems in extensions.

That was my thought as well. Maybe making it as a php file to upload to the root and run it from there might be better?

Either way, a very useful tool

Thank you for this extension -very helpful before upgrading a board.

A very useful tool that looks like was copied from "SiteSplat" This option was developed by "sitesplat" already over 2 years ago and it's been in use for his premium themes. Obviously his products dont break your board... I just don't get why there is people here keep coping ideas and then they even have the courage to add their own copyright. This is is so hilarious. People do whatever they want in this section and claim others people code and ideas as theirs. Then you see tons of comments. Oh this is useful oh this is great. Yeah sure. Too bad was ripped off.

@Neuropass

I have no idea who or what "sitesplat" is and every line of the code in this extension is my own - it is not copied from anyone or anywhere else. If you believe otherwise then please post the proof and/or report this topic to one of the Extensions Team.

Last time we are going to tell you: there is no such thing as ownership on an idea. Using ideas to make a better product happens all over the world and is why we have different companies making the same types of products, sometimes better than the original. The same goes for software. I seriously doubt david63 took someone else's code and simply posted it here. That his extension does the same thing as someone else's extension means absolutely nothing.


P.S. be aware that publicly making such accusations, especially when they're without basis or proof, are not welcome on our site. If you want to report any such activity via PM and express your concerns you're welcome to do so. Here in public? It will earn you a ban for repeat offenses.
