Extbase not visible in Admin Tools - typo3

I've installed Typo3 (6.2.15) and have to create an extension. However, the Extbase is not visible in my Admin Tools Menu. This extension is installed by default (6.2.15 does not give the option to A/D this extension). Anyone got a hint?

Extbase is just the Framework. It doesn't come along with any Backend Module to kickstart the extension.
To create an extension, follow the official documentation https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/ExtbaseFluidBook/ or use the extension named by Jost extension_builder.
It can be that this extension is not compatible / working with 6.2. In that case install it in an older TYPO3 Installation as it just kickstarts the extension.

when Migrating typo3 version 9 to typo3 version 10.4.2 ,storagepid=0

Our project which was migrated from typo3 version 9 to version 10. The issue is storagepid = 0. I can hardcode the pid value to configuration. But that’s not a permanent solution. If I use same plugin in different project again I have to hardcode storagepid value. So I need a permanent solution to fix it out.Can anyone help me to find out the solution?
There is no need to hardcode the storagePid in PHP code, since TYPO3 Extbase plugins typically will fetch the storagePid(s) from configuration (either TypoScript, starting point or plugin settings).
This blogpost I wrote some years ago explains, how and in which order Extbase will determine the storagePid.
The most suitable way is to use the starting point setting in the plugin, which automatically will be taken into account when data is fetched (e.g. in a Extbase repository). This way, you can use the plugin in several projects and the editor can select the storagePid(s) directly in plugin settings.

Typo3 (8.7.30, composer) Extension Manager not showing up in backend

I have a composer typo3 (8.7.30) project, but somehow the extension-manager does not show up.
I tried the following:
./vendor/bin/typo3 extensionmanager:extension:install extensionmanager
./vendor/bin/typo3cms extension:activate extensionmanager
./vendor/bin/typo3cms extension:setup extensionmanager
My user has admin rights and I can see other admin tools. I also tried to create a new admin with the install tool and the new user had the same "problem".
Other modules - including custom ones - are showing up.
Any ideas on how to tackle this?
Edit: When I install the project step by step without generating the package state it's working fine, but the moment I generate package states the extension manager is missing - even though the entry in the PackageStates.php
One userTsConfig.ts disabled the module in the production context. I didn't check for it because the behavior was new for me. It was neither a typo3 or composer problem, just a configuration issue.
After installing from your composer.json, the extension manager is available.
I guess that your PackageStates.php just somehow misses the extensionmanager:
'extensionmanager' => [
'packagePath' => 'typo3/sysext/extensionmanager/',
],
If I manually remove that section, vendor/bin/typo3cms install:generatepackagestates (from the package helhum/typo3-console which you already have installed) would regenerate it.

Problems after installation of TYPO3 extension pits_downloadcenter

I'm using TYPO3 9.5.5 and have installed pits_downloadcenter 3.0.1 extension.
I am encountering errors after installation in 'Extensions Manager'.
Call to a member function admin_get_tables() on null"
in "typo3conf/ext/pits_downloadcenter/class.ext_update.php line 68"
Do you have the extension "TYPO3_DB compatibility layer for TYPO3 v9.x" installed? It seems that the extension pits_downloadcenter still relies on the deprecated database functionality.
You should report this issue in the issue tracker of the extension.

TYPO3 admin backend modules are missing

I worked all day to get Xampp running and install TYPO3 on it. Now I'm logged in the backend, but many admin modules are not displayed, such as Templates, Access etc. - There must be something I've done wrong, but I've got no idea. these are the modules shown Missing: View, Info, Functions, Template, Access, Backend Users, Log, DB Check, Configuration, Reports.
Most backend modules are shipped as extensions, which can be installed, uninstalled, activated and deactivated.
If you installed TYPO3 by using the traditional installation method (extracting the TYPO3 source package), go to ADMIN TOOLS → Extensions and make sure, the missing modules are activated. For example, "Log" is provided by the system extension belog and "Templates" by tstemplate. You can activate/deactivate extensions by clicking on the icon left-hand-side of their title.
If you installed TYPO3 by using PHP Composer (see documentation), make sure all packages are included in your composer.json file. For example typo3/cms-belog, typo3/cms-tstemplate, etc. You can add/remove packages with the following composer commands on the command line (for example typo3/cms-belog):
composer require typo3/cms-belog
composer remove typo3/cms-belog
In the unlikely event that this does not solve your issue, review file typo3conf/PackageStates.php. This file contains a list of all extensions (system extensions, as well as community extensions), currently available in your TYPO3 system.
It could also be that your admin user, who may have been migrated from an older version, is not a newly introduced system maintainer.
https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/master/en-us/Changelog/9.0/Feature-82266-BackendUsersSystemMaintainers.html
If that is the case, you can easily create an new "system maintainer user" from the install environment. Maintenance > Create Administrative User
I had the same problem. The required extension were also present in PackageStates.php but still the backend menu options like Admins Tools, Extensions, Maintenance were not visible.
The reason was that that admin user was not listed as a System Maintainer
To make a backend user a System Maintainer do the following
Login with admin password to /typo3/install.php
Setting > Manage System Maintainers
select and save backend users you want as System Maintainers
Now go to backend at /typo3/ and you should see the "Admins Tools" menu options
You can use https://get.typo3.org/misc/composer/helper to figure out the missing extensions. If you simply want to install all extensions, klick on TYPO3/FULL and copy and paste the code to your console.

TYPO3 6.2 / 7.x Forum extension

Is there any working Forum extension for TYPO3 6.2.
I have tried mm_forum with some patches, but id does not work.
I have also looked at extension repository but without any luck.
Any help is welcome :)
The new forum extension from Mittwald is typo3_forum (6.2 und 7.x)
Link in Typo3-Repo: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/typo3_forum
How to migrate your mm_forum to typo3_forum:
Install typo3_forum
Execute the Scheduler Task Database Migration
Open your root TypoScript Template Record and include typo3_forum's static TypoScript
Change your TypoScript configuration (e.g. in your template extension or Typoscript records) from plugin.tx_mmforum to plugin.tx_typo3forum
Uninstall mm_forum
Clean up the database using the Install Tool "compare" functionality.
If you have custom fluid templates for the forum using the forum's ViewHelpers you have to adjust the namespace declaration accordingly. E.g. {namespace t3f=Mittwald\Typo3Forum\ViewHelpers}
You could check the multiblog-extension, it´s up to date and ready for TYPO3.CMS 6.2.
