Hello
i'm having issues with the remote content plugin : The extension zip is not installed, to use this plugin you need to install the extension.

Code: Select all

PHP 8.2.29 (cli) (built: Aug  4 2025 20:55:01) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.2.29, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.2.29, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

Code: Select all

ac5d45256f2e:/tmp# php -ini | grep -i zip
ZIP-based phar archives => enabled
gzip compression => enabled
bzip2 compression => disabled (install ext/bz2)
bludit_url => https://www.bludit.com/releases/bludit-3-16-2.zip
$_SERVER['bludit_url'] => https://www.bludit.com/releases/bludit-3-16-2.zip
$_ENV['bludit_url'] => https://www.bludit.com/releases/bludit-3-16-2.zip

Code: Select all

ac5d45256f2e:/etc/php82# cat php.ini | grep -i zip
extension=zip

I was interested reading of a 'remote content' plugin and looked for it on the plugins page but found nothing. So, first question – can you make your question more clear? The code you share does not tell me what you are doing... but it may well be obvious to others :)

Hi, the problem is listed in the error message.

You need the zip extension on your webserver. The plugin download the content via zip file export and extract the content.

Hello,

I am not sure about what to do since I've installed it and it still doesnt work ?

/tmp # php -m | grep zip
/tmp # apk add --no-cache php-zip
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v ... DEX.tar.gz
fetch https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v ... DEX.tar.gz
(1/3) Installing php83-common (8.3.29-r0)
(2/3) Installing libzip (1.11.4-r0)
(3/3) Installing php83-zip (8.3.29-r0)

apk add php83 php83-zip

typically you prefix with the php version you're using, so like I use PHP 8.5, so I would be installing php8.5-zip.

At least you're moving away from 8.2 from your earlier error output, since 8.2 is end-of-life later this year.

PS: If you still keep seeing 8.2 in your error, but you've installed 8.3 then you're not using 8.3 , you have two versions along side each other, and either need to install php8.2-zip, or switch over to 8.3 (I recommend the latter).
