Getting extensions in directory to show in extensions menu

[aaronjz]

Hello,

I have downloaded and moved the FreshRSS official extensions files into the ./extensions folder in my FreshRSS directory, but for some reason they are not showing in my extensions list to to enable or disable even after several page refreshes or stopping and restarting of the FreshRSS container. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey! FreshRSS needs to scan the extensions directory after you add new ones. After copying extension folders into ./extensions, go to Administration → Extensions in the UI and click "Check for extensions". Alternatively use CLI: php extension.php install inside each extension folder. Also ensure permissions are correct and clear cache (rm -rf data/cache/*). That should make them appear. Hope that helps!

There is no such thing as a "Check for extensions" button or a extension.php CLI script.
The data/cache directory has nothing to do with this either.
Seems like AI spam

Make sure permissions of the extracted extension's directory are correct (post ls -lah output) and try refreshing the Extensions page with Ctrl+F5.

Thank you for help clarifying the comment above. I tried hard to find what was mentioned in that post but didn't see anything related to what it was talking about.

I am green to self-hosting, but it looks like all the permissions for these extensions are set to read + write. Also, I'm doing this on macOS. If you don't mind, could you explain a little more on what you mean by post ls- lah?

I'm using a Chromium browser (Helium) so I think the Ctrl + F5 is more like Cmd + Shift + R for me, if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks again for the help and the comment.

I mean to paste the full directory listing here of the extensions directory along with visible permissions for all groups/users by using the terminal.
For example:

total 28K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root www-data 4,0K Feb  8 02:22 .
drwx-----x 3 root root     4,0K Feb  8 01:55 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root www-data   48 Feb  5 12:29 .gitignore
-rw-r--r-- 1 root www-data   19 Feb  5 12:29 .htaccess
-rw-r--r-- 1 root www-data  309 Feb  5 12:29 index.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root www-data  197 Feb  5 12:29 README.md
drwxr-xr-x 4 root www-data 4,0K Feb  8 02:22 xExtension-YouTube

Also which extensions did you try to install, which FreshRSS version you're using etc.

Yes

I see now. Thanks for the example.

I tried installing the FreshRSS extension pack from the main extension Github repo. I'm using the latest version of FreshRSS: 1.28.1.

How does this look to you so far?
