So.. I've installed latest alpha preview and I absolutely LOVE the extension management. Great work guys. It's gonna be very powerful and popular feature.
However I have one fundamental question. Is there an option to purge extensions cache ? Right now I have following options in extension manager available:
I've installed latest example extensions called Newspage Extension and it works great. I tried to alter some files like: acp/main_info.php or adm/style/newspage_body.html and changes are not reflected on the backend. No matter what. Seems that the only option to update extensions is to "Disable" it first and then "Delete data". Kinda harsh way for frequently updated extensions. I can't imagine developing an extension when i have to "Delete Data" everytime i make changes. So question is: is "Delete data" the only way to purge extension cache or I'm missing something? Thanks in advance for some tips

"Disable > Enable" should do it. If you change the html layout, you just need to purge the cache on the frontpage of the acp

Re: phpBB 3.1 Extensions Cache
For the template cache, you can change the load setting "Re-compile stale template components" to Yes (No by default) and you should not have to purge any cache to see the changes from template files.
Also, when developing, you should enable DEBUG mode (config.php) as it turns off optimizations and makes development much easier.

Ahh.. can't believe I forgot about that option (Re-compile stale template components). Thank you all!
