New Plugin: PluginManager

creecros · February 6, 2023, 5:37pm

I would say that the issue is because 1.0.33.2 is a totally invalid version number. that compare will never work.

you can account for a lot of things, but when people make up there own versioning format, well…can’t help with that one.

> Something I noticed in PluginManager just now. If I am on the “Plugin Director…y” view, and enter some text in the filter textbox, the plugins are filtered accordingly. Good. But, if I press the “Enter” key at any time, I am teleported to my kanboard’s home page, the Dashboard view. > I kind of reflexively hit the enter key, even when it’s not necessary, because it’s a normal “submit” action for a textbox/filter. So, I end up constantly bouncing between Plugin Directory and Dashboard when I’m trying to filter the list. Not a huge problem and not a common occurrence, but figured I’d share. **Forum Post by @axb21:** https://kanboard.discourse.group/t/new-plugin-pluginmanager/2492/24?u=aljawaid

I can sense 2 things happening. 1. @creecros, “can help?”

I dont mean to pester you, you just know more than me

creecros · February 7, 2023, 12:09pm

its all good, i could say the same to you, we each have our strengths.

aljawaid · February 14, 2023, 11:59pm

Can anyone clarify?

What is "remote_install": true, from plugins.json meant to do?

If I make it false, the plugin does not show in the available plugins directory (with or without PluginManager).

I always thought, if the plugin was set to false, then it would be listed but the install button would be a manual download button.

                 $plugins = $this->httpClient->getJson($url);
                 $plugins = array_filter($plugins, array($this, 'isCompatible'));
                 $plugins = array_filter($plugins, array($this, 'isInstallable'));
                 return $plugins;

   /**
              * Filter plugins
              *

as you can see, false eliminates the plugin.

aljawaid · February 15, 2023, 1:06am

so then my question is, what is the point of it if it never gets listed anywhere?

creecros · February 15, 2023, 12:14pm

its a parameter, that disallows remote installation. thats the point of it.

edit: however, having it listed in the json would be a good idea if you want people to be aware of any updates.

rawebmaster · March 4, 2023, 10:04pm

respect wowwww thank youuuuuu

aljawaid · March 5, 2023, 12:47am

how? if it doesn’t show up in the directory?

creecros · March 5, 2023, 1:56am

ya, you’re right, maybe it is pointless. i thought it showed in installed plugins for some reason.

aljawaid · March 5, 2023, 4:32am

na it doesn’t show… having said that, Im thinking of adding it as an if

aljawaid · March 15, 2023, 8:31pm

The next version will have a new page “Manual Plugins”

The existing directory already shows 8 plugins which were not picked up by Kanboard core. Now users can download those plugins if they want to risk it. I added KanboardSkeletonPlugin to make it 9 in my installation.

Developers can list their plugins in the normal directory but if they set remote_install to false, the plugin will appear on the manual plugin page with a download link (no install). the kanboard core currently completely ignores such plugins based on the configuration.

alfredb · March 29, 2023, 7:30am

@aljawaid Did you start adding other peoples plugins to the repo? I strongly hope you ask them before you do.

aljawaid · May 14, 2023, 12:14pm

@alfredb fixed this… watch out for the next release… filter and update counts will be included

aljawaid · May 16, 2023, 8:07pm

Can somebody please check… in PluginManager v3.5+, in your Kanboard version…

Do your tooltips work and show?

abucci · May 18, 2023, 1:13pm

I have PluginManager 3.5.0 and the tooltips work for me.

This may be an issue only for me, but I noticed that the tooltips don’t always appear when I hover over the 🛈. Sometimes I have to jiggle the mouse, or move the mouse away and back again, before the tooltip will appear.

aljawaid · May 18, 2023, 1:26pm

what kanboard are you using? because on my v1.2.20 the tooltips show, but on a test run of 1.2.22 they dont show.

Yeah the appear-disappear tooltip hover thing I’ve had for ages across kanboard itself, not sure if thats a core js issue but I try my best on it. I’m actually thinking of switching to css-only tooltips but not sure yet.

abucci · May 20, 2023, 4:32pm

I’m on 1.2.28, which is the latest iirc

PluginManager v4.x Update

Hello all, I hope all users are enjoying this plugin. Looking at the little GitHub stats that I can find, this plugin has attracted 731 downloads!

Version 4.0 introduced a bug for users with PHP v8 configured - apologies for that and a great thanks to @alfredb for providing a fast fix. This bug would prevent users from using the plugin and most likely generated a blank white page. The problem was fixed in v4.2.

Coming up in the next release will be German translations thanks to @cptsanifair and also the feature to show only plugins with updates, extending the possibilities that @alfredb created with the plugin filter feature recently in v4.0.

Here’s a screenshot of what to expect:

A big heartfelt thanks to the users and contributors for shaping this plugin to become what it is within the last 6 months. Don’t forget to star the repository if you are on GitHub, and if you are in the mood to get me a coffee, all my plugins have sponsor buttons!
