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 upgrade-advisor
FoF Upgrade Advisor
A Flarum extension by FriendsOfFlarum. Check your forum's readiness for the next Flarum major version.
Adds an admin page that runs a series of readiness checks for Flarum 2.0 and shows an overall verdict, so you know what to address before upgrading.
Checks
- PHP version — fails below PHP 8.3.
- Database version — detects MySQL vs MariaDB and applies two tiers:
- Fails below the version required for JSON column support (MySQL 5.7.8, MariaDB 10.2.7), which Flarum 2.0 relies on.
- Warns below the recommended version (MySQL 8.4, MariaDB 11.8) to encourage staying on a modern, supported release.
- Extension compatibility — for every installed extension (enabled or disabled — either will block the upgrade), determines whether a Flarum 2.0-compatible release exists. Each extension resolves to one of:
- Compatible — a published release supports
flarum/core ^2.0(pre-releases count). - Incompatible — no compatible release yet.
- Abandoned — flagged by Flarum core or its support thread; if a replacement is suggested, its own 2.0 readiness is checked and shown.
- Superseded — functionality is now built into core, or the extension has moved to a different package (curated list).
- Could not check — a premium or private-repository extension that isn't on public Packagist (see below).
- Compatible — a published release supports
Compatibility is determined from Packagist and cross-referenced against the extension's official support discussion tags on discuss.flarum.org. For extensions the advisor can't resolve, it surfaces the support thread and author contact links so you can ask the author about their 2.0 plans.
Private & premium repositories
Extensions installed from private sources aren't on public Packagist, so the advisor can't check them by default. Under the Repositories tab you can add:
- Floxum — just paste your access token.
- Private Packagist / custom Composer repositories — provide the repository URL, username, and token.
Each repository has a Test connection button to verify the credentials before saving. Configured repositories are only queried for extensions that public Packagist can't resolve.
Adding your own checks
Other extensions can register additional checks via the Checks extender in their extend.php:
Each registered class must implement FoF\UpgradeAdvisor\Check\Check and is resolved from the container, so it may type-hint any services it needs.
Installation
Install with composer:
Updating
Once your forum reports as ready and you've upgraded to Flarum 2.0, this extension has done its job and can be removed.
