Extensions

Extensions in the ClientXCMS CMS are of two types: addons and modules, and they are located in the respective /modules and /addons folders. Each extension is based on the Laravel framework and follows a well-defined structure. In this guide, we will see how to create an extension, how to structure it, and how to register it in the CMS.

Prerequisites​

We recommend having good knowledge of PHP and Laravel, as well as being comfortable with the following concepts:

These topics will not necessarily be covered in detail in this documentation.

You must also have access to the source code for self-hosting.

Additionally, it is recommended to be comfortable with TailwindCSS, Blade, and Vite.js.

Development License​

We can provide you with a development license with the same extensions as your main license and 15 authorized clients for your development. For more information, please contact us.

Activation​

Loaded extensions can be activated or deactivated on the Extensions page img

Choosing between a module and an addon​

Simply put, modules are used for service delivery, for example to implement a management panel like Virtualizor, Plesk, or Pterodactyl. Addons are used to add additional features such as payment methods, logic, or custom pages.

Request to add to the marketplace​

You can request to become a developer at https://clientxcms.com/client/resources and thus offer your extensions to the community. Screenshot of creating an extension

From now on, each developer can:

  • Create their own extensions
  • Publish and share their creations via clientxcms.com/client/ressources
  • Easily explore and install extensions shared by the community

This intuitive interface was designed to simplify management and encourage the collaborative ecosystem around CLIENTXCMS.
