API for Customisation Database

Post by mys_721tx »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build container images for phpBB, but I can't seem to find a way to programmatically download extensions and skins for a phpBB installation. I've been using a really hacky method to wget the zip file and install the extensions that way.

I think it would be great if we could expose an API for the customization database so we can download the extensions and skins programmatically. What do you think?

The idea of ​​an API for custom databases is great! It would make it easier to automate the installation of extensions and themes. Hopefully phpBB will consider implementing this feature!

This is already possible and is part of the extensions catalog feature that will be in the next major release.
