In some cases you could need the possibility to activate or deactivate single extensions of BlueSpice. This document will show you how to do this.

Tip for this Document

  • Please, read this manual completely and work through the single installtion steps one after another.
  • For editing the configuration files with a text editor, the files must be saved in UTF-8 coding without BOM (Byte Order Mark).
  • The placeholder <installpath-bluespice> stands for the path to your BlueSpice installation, e.g C:\inetpub\wwwroot\bluespice (Windows) or /var/www/bluespice (Linux).

Create a configuration file which will be not overriten while you update BlueSpice

All BlueSpice-extensions are configured in the file <installpath-bluespice>/extensions/BlueSpiceExtensions/BlueSpiceExtensions.default.php by default. You should not use this file to configure these extensions because it will by overwritten while you update BlueSpice. Copy this file to <installpath-bluespice>/extensions/BlueSpiceExtensions/BlueSpiceExtensions.local.php and do all changes in this file.

Deactivation of extensions

Search the relevant extension in <installpath-bluespice>/extensions/BlueSpiceExtensions/BlueSpiceExtensions.local.php. Uncomment the line which includes the extension by typing "//" at the beginning of the line.

Activation of extensions

If you which to activate extensions which are deactivated please search the relevant extension in <installpath-bluespice>/extensions/BlueSpiceExtensions/BlueSpiceExtensions.local.php. Remove the commentation at the beginning of the line ('#' or '//').

php maintenance/update.php (Linux)

When the script is finished with the "Done" message, proceed to the next step.
