This plugin is not maintaned for a long time. Pimcore 5 now totally depends on composer and therefore this is not needed anymore. If you still see it usefull and have any fixes, feel free to submit a pull request!

Extensions Manager for pimcore

Manage your Pimcore Extensions with Composer directly from admin panel.

Important notes

Using composer CLI from pimcore's admin panel is a bit tricky. The most important thing is that your web server needs write permissions to many paths (see required write permissions section for details).
It's a potential security issue, so be warned and use with caution.

Manager assumes that you are using pimcore's composer.json for dependency management (not one level above document-root as suggested in pimcore extensions documentation)

composer binary needs to be in $PATH and be executable.

Install

composer require pimcore-extensions/manager

• Enable plugin in Extensions tab in admin panel
• After reload, open Extensions tab and you should find Download Extensions button in top bar.
• Make sure that all required paths are writable by your web server.
  There is a CLI command to help you with that. Run it before installing any package by manager:
  php pimcore/cli/console.php manager:permissions

Required write permissions

• /plugins/*
• /composer.json
• /composer.lock
• /vendor/*
