Hallo list!

I just thought it is a bit annoying that plugins cannot be disabled. At least not easily. Okay, you can move or remove the certain plugin directory. But there is no plugin function with which it can be properly disabled, which could be used by the plugin manager to make it even easier ...

What do you think?

Hy!

what about a "disabled-plugins" folder? this doesn't need any extra work in the dokuwiki-core and shouldn't be to hard to implement in the plugin-manager. All it takes is just one more folder the webserver needs write-access to.

Possibly.

Some plugins consist of multiple components, e.g. bbcode, code, blog. Should it be possible to disable individual components but not the whole plugin?

Another idea, would be to drop a file 'disabled' in the plugin folder. If that file is present, Dokuwiki won't load the plugin. The plugin manager can be extended to check for, remove or add that file.

Or, let it be handled via configuration and local settings... $conf['plugin'][<plugin>]['disabled']

Just some ideas. I'll stay sitting on the fence for now.
