Installing and uninstalling extensions

Installing an extension

To install an extension:

  1. If the extension is not included in the default SimpleID distribution:

    1. Extract the archive containing the extension into a temporary directory

    2. Move the contents of the www directory (including any subdirectories) into the web directory.

  2. To enable the extension, edit the SIMPLEID_EXTENSIONS configuration option in the config.inc file and add the name of the extension. Separate multiple extensions with commas. For more information on how to edit this configuration option, see the Configuration Options Reference.

If the version of SimpleID you originally installed was before 0.5, the SIMPLEID_EXTENSIONS configuration option may not exist in your config.inc file. You can add it in manually.

Uninstalling an extension

To uninstall an extension

  1. Edit the SIMPLEID_EXTENSIONS configuration option in the config.inc file and delete the name of the extension. For more information on how to edit this configuration option, see the Configuration Options Reference.

  2. You can also delete the extension file from the web directory. This is an optional process.
