Free MYOs
Description Allow users to create free MYOs
Author(s) AnimatedCritter
Status testing
Github extension/free-myos
LK Version 3.0.0
Contains a Migration






An alternative to the slot-box system, this extension was made in an attempt to reduce the amount of menuing required to access free MYO slots!

A "Create Free MYO" button is added to the navbar and /characters/myos page, redirecting users to a form and admin-select pool of species/subtypes they can select to create a free MYO slot with. Depending on how the extension is set up, users can create as many MYOs as they'd like!

Installation

This extension is on Lorekeeper v3.0.0 as of May 25, 2025
Users on Lorkeeper v2 should pull only to commit c25637d and apply the change described under "Known Issue (v2 only)".
Notice that v2 of this extension is no longer supported, and this documentation only covers installation of Free MYOs v3, although the installation instructions are the same.

1. Pull and merge the branch (Tutorial: Installing Extensions) making sure to address any merge issues.

2. Run the following commands in your console:

  • php artisan migrate
  • php artisan add-site-settings
  • php artisan update-extension-tracker
  • php artisan optimize (may need to run twice)

3. If upgrading from Free MYOs v1.0.0, you will also need to run php artisan delete-obsolete-settings after applying your current settings to the free MYOs configruation file (config\lorekeeper\free_myos.php).

Configuration

Configure Free MYO Preferences Located at config\lorekeeper\free_myos.php is the extension configuration file. There are comments in the code that describe what each setting is and the accepted values it will take.

  • !! Important !! You must run php artisan optimize to apply changes published to your configuration file.


Enable Species/Subtypes for Free MYOs After following the installation instructions, you can now see a "Free MYO Usable" toggle on each species/subtype's respective page. You may toggle as many or as few on or off as desired. Be aware that if there are no species available for Free MYOs, users who visit the free MYO page will not be able to create MYOs and be prompted to submit a bug report.


Release the Feature to Users After following the installation instructions, there is a free_myos_open setting available on your site settings page. This setting:

  • determines if users can access the free MYO page.
  • (when closed) only prevents new slots from being created. It does not halt design submissions for pre-existing slots.

When you're site is ready, change this setting to 1 to allow users to create free MYOs. You may disable the Free MYOs creation at anytime by resetting the value to 0.

Troubleshooting
