Plugin Update Manager Manual.

How to update plugins centrally - with a backup before every update, bulk actions and optional automation.

Installation

Up and running in minutes.

Installation and activation happen entirely in the Shopware backend - no code changes required.

1 · Requirements

Requires Shopware 6.7 / PHP 8.2+. As always, create a database backup before larger changes.

2 · From the Store

In the backend, go to Extensions › Store, search for the plugin and install it. Updates then appear automatically in the backend.

3 · Activate

Activate the plugin under Extensions › My extensions, then run bin/console cache:clear or clear the cache from the backend.

4 · Open

Open the dashboard under Extensions › Stone & Water › Plugin Update Manager.

Dashboard

All updates at a glance.

Instead of clicking through each plugin, you see versions and pending updates in one place.

Overview

Patch · minor · major

Each plugin shows via a badge what kind of update is pending.

Changelog

What actually changes

Before updating you see what changes - no updates in the dark.

Management

Activate, deactivate, uninstall

Plugins can be toggled and removed straight from the dashboard.

Safety & bulk

No update without a backup.

Before every update a ZIP backup is created automatically - several updates run in one go.

ZIP backup

Before updating, the manager backs up the plugin as a ZIP - including filesystem and DB config.

Bulk update

Update several plugins at once instead of one after another.

Status per plugin

Badges show backed up, pending or ready.

Automation

Updates in the background.

On request the manager updates on a schedule and logs every change.

Scheduled updates

A scheduled task checks and updates at regular intervals in the background.

Audit log

Every action is logged - traceable who changed what and when.

FAQ

Answered briefly.

What if an update fails?

Thanks to the ZIP backup before every update, the previous state can be restored.
