Hi, i have updated the forum a while ago from phpbbSeo to 3x and since then i am missing the extensions tab on ACP and also i don't see the modules in system tab, when i look at admin permissions i see this:
ACL_A_MODS yes
Can manage modules yes

you can see it in the screenshots i attached.

how can i resolve this?

I don't know about the modules but the extension tab will not show unless you have activated an extension that uses the extension tab for it's settings.

your screen shot shows exactly what it should when you click on the system tab.
if you want to see and manage the modules you have to click on one of the links in the left menu for modules.

According to the third screenshot, the Extension management module is deactivated or missing
you can check this in system/module management .acp / click on Customise , should show styles , extension and language modules there . check the extension module is active .

no, there is no extenstion tab until and unless you have installed an extension that requires one.
If you are seeing a problem in the admin panel, you are not showing us any screenshot that shows a problem.

Not the Tab Robert , the Extension management module should be between Styles and Language ones.

That is a non standard permission. You may have others as well as non standard modules.

If you have not added any extensions you can remove non standard modules and permissions by:

Make sure you make a backup of your database before proceeding.
Uploading this file, modission_reset.php, to the root of your board installation on the server.
Log into the board as a founder and/or admin.
Navigate your browser to the file, for example http://www.example.com/example_forum/modission_reset.php
Choose modules and permissions and run the file
It will tell you how many modules and permissions it deletes, or may give you some other message if all is not well. Make a note of that.
It should automatically delete itself from the server, if it can't it will tell you.

I have used the modission_reset.php to clear my old MOD's which was not compatible with 3.1.4. There after the extensions tab was missing.

in 3.1.4 i was using extensions like board accouncement etc....

Only way i found to get back the extensions tab back was.

1.Disable the extension
2.Delete the extension’s data
3.Delete the extension’s files from the filesystem (from ext folder)

then reupload the extension to the ext folder and then activate it. After this exercise i was able to get back the Extensions tab back in the ACP

There is absolutely no need to delete and reupload the files unless the extension version has been updated.

^^
I was unsuccessful in the effort to get back the Extensions Tab when i tried just disable the extension/clear extension data.

For me at least the problem was solved after doing the 3rd step too i.e

3.Delete the extension’s files from the filesystem (from ext folder) then re upload.
