Re: New installation - Layman questions

Sorry, no idea where to see instructions,
I tried that:

composer.json (and also GitHub) shows it should be in ext/david63/bulkuseradd and that's mentioned in the extension support topic (which you should read and where extension support should be sought.
Here is my structure:

But, still can't see it in the list

Thank you

All files go in root/ext/vendor/extensionname (which is where composer.json should reside)
Look at the Github structure (and the phpbb/viglink, and all other extensions).

see https://www.phpbb.com/extensions/installing/
BTW: did you read viewtopic.php?f=456&t=2497731 ? (the answer is in there).

On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

That didn't work either
Viglink is under /ext/phpbb/viglink
I moved the extension into that phpbb folder, didn't show up in the list either

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time

The correct directory structure is /ext/david63/bulkuseradd/

Presumably the bulkuseradd-3.2 folder contains the files that should be in bulkuseradd

extensions should be uploaded in the /ext folder, with the directory structure vendorname/extensionname e.g. phpbb/viglink

Yes, that seems to be the correct place.
I did the setup and ran the extension, it said it was completed successfully, BUT

I can't see in the SQL database into which table it was inserted?

Help please

phpbb_ext (phpbb being the table prefix, you may have used a different one).
There are various new entries in the config table (name starting with bua_)
There's a new field in the users_table, and a entry in the modules_table.
see /migrations/version_2_1_0.php

Again, you're entering extension support territory so this is where my input in this topic ends.
