It was originally designed for collecting technical dependencies, but the extension is intentionally generic: users submit entries, moderators review them, categories keep the directory organized, and the forum frontend presents approved entries in a searchable card grid.

Each category can have a name, slug, description, color, and Font Awesome icon. - **Category management UI:** Administrators can create and edit categories in the extension settings page. Icon codes can be typed manually or selected from the built-in icon picker. - **Search:** The directory can be searched by title and description, with results updating directly in the frontend list. - **Filtering:** Users can filter approved items by category. - **Favorites:** Logged-in users can favorite and unfavorite items, and quickly switch to their saved list. - **Responsive card layout:** Approved items are shown as cards with title, description, categories, author, and compact action buttons. - **Bilingual language files:** English and Simplified Chinese translations are included. - **Flarum 2 API resources:** The extension uses Flarum 2 resource-based API integration instead of the older Flarum 1 serializer/controller pattern. - **Permission controls:** Admins can configure who may submit, moderate, delete, and manage categories. Common Use Cases ---------------- [](#common-use-cases) - A community product directory - A library, package, or dependency collection - A curated resource list - A showcase of member projects - A reading list or tool list - A recommendation board that requires approval before publication Installation ------------ [](#installation) Run this command in your Flarum root directory: ``` composer require shebaoting/flarum-dependency-collector:"*" php flarum migrate php flarum cache:clear ``` Then enable the extension in the Flarum admin dashboard. Updating -------- [](#updating) Run: ``` composer update shebaoting/flarum-dependency-collector:"*" php flarum migrate php flarum cache:clear ``` If your forum still requires the old package name, switch the Composer requirement first: ``` composer remove shebaoting/dependency-collector --no-update composer require shebaoting/flarum-dependency-collector:"*" -W ``` If you are upgrading from the Flarum 1.x version, keep your existing database data in place. The Flarum 2.x version is designed to continue using the extension's existing tables while updating the API and frontend integration. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### 1.
