Extension Snapshot and Rollback

Overview

Take snapshots of installed extension versions before updates. If an update breaks something, one-click rollback to the previous version.

Features

Auto-snapshot — automatically records extension versions before any update
Manual snapshot — take a named snapshot of current state
Snapshot history — list of snapshots with date, name, and diff from current
Rollback — restore a specific extension to its snapshot version (re-installs from backup zip)
Zip backup — stores extension zip files in a configurable backup directory
Retention — configurable number of snapshots to keep (default: 5)

Database Schema

CREATE TABLE #__mokosuiteclient_ext_snapshots (
  id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  snapshot_data TEXT NOT NULL,
  created DATETIME NOT NULL
);

Architecture

Hooks into onExtensionBeforeUpdate to auto-snapshot
Stores extension zips in administrator/components/com_mokosuiteclient/backups/
Rollback re-installs from stored zip via Joomla installer API
Snapshot data is JSON: [{element, type, folder, version, zip_path}]
