README

Shared base library for the iorgian extensions for phpBB 3.3.x (4.0 ready).

It adds no visible features by itself: it provides reusable services so that every iorgian extension stays small and consistent. Used by Iorgian Multi Prefixes.

Alpha release. This extension is under active development and may contain errors. It is not recommended for use on a live forum. Test it on a local or staging installation first and make a database backup before enabling it.

Requirements

• phpBB 3.3.0 or newer
• PHP 7.4 or newer

Installation

1. Extract the release archive inside your forum's ext/ directory (it already contains iorgian/core/), or copy this folder to ext/iorgian/core.
2. ACP > Customise > Manage extensions: enable Iorgian Core.
3. Install it before any extension that depends on it.

When upgrading, replace the folder, purge the cache (ACP > General > Purge the cache) and, if the new version includes migrations, disable and re-enable the extension (do not delete its data).
