TYPO3 Core

Yes,

I know how to do this manually. But sometimes we don't get FTP access to the server. (The customer takes care about installing the system but he denies access via ftp or webFTP. He offers us just HTTP-Access to Backend + InstallTool)

So it would be nice to have an opportunity to deactivate extension from within the install tool. So this is a feature (comfort) request.

This should be something like parsing the loaded extensions array (substract system-extensions) and then use sth. like checkboxes for extensions that should be turned off.

For example the very common tt_news extension is not compatible to 6.1.x and will therefore brak the whole system. And then you need to change files manually and then delete cache files manually as well.

In older versions that was possible - is this function no longer there?

This feature is still there. :)

I didn't realize that you are able to edit these files by clicking on their names.

Maybe an edit Icon would be easier to recognize. But the function is still there.

Two things:

• In the Install Tool "All Configuration" there still is the variable ['EXT']['extList']. You can edit it (that is what I meant), but:
  • This variable is no longer used; instead the extension list is now stored in ['EXT']['extListArray'].
  • What you enter in ['EXT']['extList'] is also not written to LocalConfiguration.php.
    => This should be fixed.

• In "Edit files in typo3conf/" each file could have a small pencil icon in front.
