Check extensions

[Ruudt]

Extensions add extension_name/config/check.txt with the hashes for their files (possibly generated by the autoload creator or alike). The Contao check tool can now also verify extensions for missing, extra and corrupt files.

Why do you need this? You can reset extensions via the ER client if you have messed something up.

I need this so that when something is not in order I can check which file is corrupt and only fix that file/extension. Many extensions are client specific and not in the ER, so resetting is not always possible.

The Contao check would not need to check the Contao files either. I can reset the entire installation using FTP. But it is a very powerful functionality to have anyway.

ps, can we not add that reset option in the check tool too? Perhaps with a checkbox in front of every corrupt file to make the tool fix these files. I wouldn't really need it, but when I am already checking the installation it makes sense to even more quickly fix corrupt files.

This is not possible. The file hashes need to be provided to validate against them and this is neither the case for third-party extensions nor for custom ones.
