Server Content Manager

Workspace reference: GSP-WORKSPACE.md

Current State

Panel/modules/addonsmanager is the current home of GSP's Server Content / Add-ons work.

The module title has already been moved toward Server Content Manager, but the schema and some folder names remain backward-compatible.

Important files:

  • Panel/modules/addonsmanager/module.php
  • Panel/modules/addonsmanager/addons_manager.php
  • Panel/modules/addonsmanager/user_addons.php
  • Panel/modules/addonsmanager/server_content_helpers.php
  • Panel/modules/addonsmanager/server_content_categories.php

Database Tables

Known tables used by the module:

  • addons
  • server_content_workshop
  • server_content_workshop_catalog
  • server_content_manifest
  • server_content_install_history

What It Already Does

The module can already represent several content types, including:

  • downloads/extracted packages
  • post-script driven installs
  • config packs
  • future profile-type content

Steam Workshop is no longer a user-facing Server Content category. Workshop access belongs to the dedicated steam_workshop module.

Current Limitations

  • Cache and cleanup policy need a clearer product design.

Important Concept

This module is the right place for:

  • mods

  • config packs
  • script-driven installs
  • server content manifests
  • install history

Validation

Relevant smoke tests:

php Panel/modules/addonsmanager/tests/workshop_helpers_test.php
