Extensions

Extensions can extend the panx-framework with new features, for example the PostManager. PostManager is one of official extension. PostManager includes templates files, css, classes etc. If you are asking, why PostManager is not the part of panx-framework by default, the answer is, that not every user will use it, so if you want to use it, you need install it additionally.

Installing extensions

Extensions can be installed using panx-framework:

php panx-worker extension install {EXTENSION}

• {EXTENSION} can be URL or file path. If it is URL, the file will be downloaded and after installed, if it is path, the file will be just installed.

The extensions are ZIP files, so it will extract the zip files into panx-framework. Be carefully, that means some of your files can be overwritten, you should backup you project before installing extension.
