Hi,
Back before the September release, it was decided to include the plugin
manager but leave it disabled by default with a view to changing the
default setting to enabled for a future (next) release.
Since then I have seen very little feedback on the plugin manager and no
serious bug reports.
Part of my initial idea for the plugin manager included an ability to
edit any settings exposed by the plugin. At the time I couldn't come up
with a mechanism to handle settings, so the settings button was first
disabled, then hidden from view in Sep 22 release. I now think I have a
reasonable mechanism for handling plugin settings (see the config plugin
- http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:config).
My questions are...
- Have you been using the plugin manager?
- If so, have there been any problems, do you have any feedback on
things that could do with changing/improving/fixing?
- Plugin Settings: Is it to appropriate to add ability to change a
plugin's settings from the plugin manager and should that capability be
added?
(Alternatively, I can publish an extended plugin manager that isn't
bundled with the main release or I can work the plugin settings handling
into the config plugin).
- Installing templates is essentially the same as installing a plugin,
is it worth extending the plugin manager to handle templates as well?
- Two plugins are bundled with Dokuwiki, the plugin manager & info
plugin. The plugin manager can remove these two plugins. Should the
delete option be disabled for bundled plugins?
Cheers,
Chris
PS. If anyone has any feedback on the user manager plugin and the config
plugin I'd like to hear that too. The last in the set, the housekeeper,
to handle page/namespace movement, attic pruning, changleog reducing,
cache purging, wiki archiving and others tasks should not be too far away.
