I am not sure if this is the right place for this but I was unable to find and feature request or suggestion category so I am posting here.
The current extension directory works like this
/ext/vendor/extname
. The vendor name can be the author’s username or any other name you choose to group your extensions. And the extension name is the name of the extension. Which is good and works well but when you want to edit or delete any specific extension it is kinda wired that you will first have to search for the extension to know its vendor name as it is not really an option to go trough 6 or 7 vendor folder to find the extension you are looking for.It would be much easier and simpler if phpbb had similar extension folder name like wordpress does. Or you can even have something like
vendorname-extname
or vendorname_extname
rather than having a folder for a vendor the vendor name can become the prefix of the extension folder. Another option is to put the vendor name as the suffix like this extname-vendorname
or extname-vendorname
. This way it will be lot easier to locate the specific extension much more easily.Some examples
Prefix using hyphen:
