Extensions management not visible in "customise folder"

Luchtzak · Post by **Luchtzak** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 10:55 pm

My goal was to add an extension called sitemap. I uploaded the files to the following folder /ext/

I then checked in my admin panel under the customise folder but the extensions management isn't visible in that folder. Any suggestion ?

You do have an Extensions tab in the ACP. That is probably the result of an upgrade from phpbb3.0.x without properly sanitising the database for 3.0 modifications).
It can be manually fixed in the System tab (Models administration or something) but I can't write precisely what to do without a board in front of me.
I've fixed a couple of boards with that problem but still have 1 board which refuses to comply.

(Hoping someone more knowledgeable can write a simple tutorial about this).

Sometimes disable and enable the module will help.
Or deleting and make a new one.

Did that, same result as picture above.

Post a screenshot from your FTP client showing the ext/folder expanded.

The structure looks OK.
As I said, I suspect it's due to an un sanitised upgrade from 3.0.x.
Compare your database tables : phpbb_acl_options, phpbb_acl_roles, phpbb_modules to fresh 3.2.5 ones. I suspect those tables are missing some entries and the numbering (the id's) will differ here and there.

If I'm right, then unfortunately I still haven't found an easy way to fix that (work in progress) (so hopefully my suspicion is wrong, or someone has a solution).

That extension is for 3.1.x and has been abandoned.

OMG, and I didn't notice that

Still the absense of the Extension Management is abnormal (and Viglink should be visible since it is present).

No sitemap then

It should be removed from the customisation database! https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... eo_sitemap

Extensions are clearly marked in the CDB for which versions they are (And most of them for 3.1 actually work on 3.2

). We only remove extensions from public download when they have a security issue.

Ok then

But how to solve the issue with the extensions menu not available?
