Feature #42824
closedImplement handling for suggested extensions
0%
Description
The new Extension Manager does not handle suggested extensions declared as 'suggests
' constraint/dependency in ext_emconf.php
.
Example with system extension saltedpasswords
:
'constraints' => array( 'depends' => array( 'typo3' => '6.0.0-0.0.0', ), 'conflicts' => array( 'kb_md5fepw' => '', 'newloginbox' => '', 'pt_feauthcryptpw' => '', 't3sec_saltedpw' => '' ), 'suggests' => array( 'rsaauth' => '' ) ),
In the case of saltedpasswords
the (system) extension rsaauth
is suggested.
The "old" Extension Manager handles this dependency-type by
1) informing the user that there is another extension suggested by the currently installed extension
2) offering the user a button to install the suggested extension with just one click
-> see attached screenshot
The new Extension manager should handle it similiar.

The new EM will be based on Composer which does not allow suggestions.
Suggestions are an old concept that won't make it in the extension manager anymore

Just in case it was overlooked:
Composer has something like suggestions: https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#suggest
