I'm setting up a new developers station, but I've ran into a problem getting a Joomla installer to discover my custom library. Here is a short description of the setup.

Using Vagrant, VirtualBox with Joomlatools/box installed and working I've symlinked multiple component type extensions and discover is working fine for them.

I symlinked the library in the same fashion as the components, but extension manager discover isn't working.

I think it has something to do with were my customLibName.xml manifest (right now it is located in mylib root directory.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

  • O.k. So I found the answer. Took a little digging through the code, but it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. To install a library via the discover installer you need to copy the xml manifest to ROOT/administrator/manifests/libraries Then copy the rest of your library into ROOT/libraries After that you will able to discover it using the Joomla admin GUI.
