FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package mercury
Mercury
The smallest planet in our solar system is a great example that small things can have great meaning. Mercury stands closest to our sun and orbits the sun in the least days. It is like a satellite constantly watching over the sun.
This extension helps you keep your Flarum community better updated. I have more plans for it and willing to listen to incorporate your suggestions, but right now it:
- shows a button in the admin area with the number of available updates to your extensions
- contains an admin page listing all your extensions and whether they have newer versions available
- offers a cronjob/scheduled command that can check for updates in your absence
- can send an email to all admins whenever it finds any updates
Requirements
Sorry people, this extension is only for systems running php 7.4 or higher. Not being able to use all type hints made me go bald.
Installation
Go to your admin area and enable the extension. Follow the link on the Mercury page to retrieve an Extiverse API token. Without a token this extension does not work.
Command
Run the command in your ssh/terminal/cli if you want a quick overview of whether extensions have updates:
Cronjob
This extension does not automatically register itself (yet) to the Flarum scheduler. I've chosen against it so that you can configure your own interval; I recommend checking less than once a day.
The command to schedule is:
If you drop the --notify flag no notifications are send to admins.
This excellent discussion by Ian Morland will help you set up your cronjob. Instead of using the command schedule:run use mercury:update-check --notify.
