SOCIALBASE EXTENSION INSTALLATION GUIDE
================================================================================
This guide installs the SocialBase extension for Paymenter. SocialBase is the
foundation extension that provides user profiles, messaging, and social features.
================================================================================
QUICK INSTALL
================================================================================
Single Line Install:
--------------------
php artisan migrate --path=extensions/Others/SocialBase/database/migrations --force && npm run build && php artisan config:clear && php artisan view:clear && php artisan cache:clear && php artisan route:clear
================================================================================
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
================================================================================
Step 1: Prepare
---------------
cd /var/www/paymenter
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
sudo chmod -R 755 .
Make sure .env is configured and the site loads.
Step 2: Upload Extension
------------------------
Place the SocialBase folder in extensions/Others/:
extensions/Others/
└── SocialBase/
├── SocialBase.php
├── database/migrations/
├── resources/
├── Admin/
├── Livewire/
├── Models/
└── Policies/
Step 3: Run Migrations
---------------------
php artisan migrate --path=extensions/Others/SocialBase/database/migrations --force
Step 4: Build Assets
-------------------
Using NPM (default):
( [ -f package-lock.json ] && npm ci || npm install )
npm run build
Using Yarn (optional):
( [ -f yarn.lock ] && yarn install --frozen-lockfile || yarn install )
yarn build
Step 5: Clear Caches
-------------------
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
Step 6: Enable in Admin
-----------------------
1. Login → Admin Panel → Extensions → Others
2. Enable SocialBase
3. Configure settings as needed
NOTE: SocialBase should be enabled FIRST before Reviews or Forum, as they
depend on it.
Step 7: Configuration
--------------------
- User Profiles: Avatar/banner settings, profile customization
- Messaging: Private messaging preferences
- Social Features: Comments, reactions, notifications
================================================================================
VERIFY INSTALLATION
================================================================================
Routes contain social features?
php artisan route:list | grep -Ei 'social|profile|message'
Tables exist?
mysql -u root -p -e "USE paymenter; SHOW TABLES LIKE '%user_profiles%';"
Frontend rebuilt?
[ -d public/build ] && echo 'Assets built ✔' || echo 'Build missing ✖'
================================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================================================
- "Extension not visible" → Clear caches (php artisan view:clear &&
php artisan cache:clear), then re-check admin panel.
- DB errors → Confirm .env DB credentials, run migrations again.
- Styles missing → Rebuild assets (npm run build or yarn build) and hard
refresh the browser.
- Permission denied → Re-apply chown/chmod from Step 1.
================================================================================
DONE!
================================================================================
SocialBase is now installed! You can now install Reviews and Forum extensions
which depend on this foundation.
