[Bug 31365] New: Plugin link location needs extra documentation so indicate where it may be found
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31365 Bug ID: 31365 Summary: Plugin link location needs extra documentation so indicate where it may be found Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Documentation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: matted-34813@mypacks.net QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org 5:25 < wajasu> my librarian looked under home->tools for Plugins, but its under Home->Administration->Plugins in 22.05 15:25 < wajasu> https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/plugins.html#set-up 15:43 < tuxayo> wajasu: indeed! That's worthy of opening a ticket with the category "Documentation" 15:43 < tuxayo> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/enter_bug.cgi?product=Koha 15:52 < caroline_crazycatlady> Just so you know, it appears under tools after you have at least one plugin installed. 15:55 < tuxayo> ah :o 15:55 < caroline_crazycatlady> It's still weird because it used to be under tools even with zero plugins, hence the confusion 15:58 < wajasu> well maybe one can add (located under Administration prior to a plugin being installed) :) 16:00 < caroline_crazycatlady> Sure, the whole thing should probably be rewritten... I don't think you need to change the conf file anymore either I had enabled the koha-conf.xml <enable_plugins>1</enable_plugins> and systemctl restart memcached koha-common apache2 So now Plugins shows under Home->Administration. Maybe that can be noted in the docs https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/plugins.html#set-up After I enabled the plugins in koha-conf.xml, my librarian couldn't find the plugins link, since the docs said it was in Tools. Plus the crazycatlady mentioned it migrates to tools once a plugin is installed. It might also be worth mentioning the need to restart memcached, koha-common (i.e. koha-plack --restart <instance>) and apache2, fothe plugin to show up after it's installed, if that is the case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Caroline's advice is overkill though, and your description of the plugin migrating to tools after a plugin is installed is inaccurate. Once a "tool plugin" is installed, it will appear in the Tools menu. Same for a "report plugin" in Reports I believe. Administration will still be the place to manage plugins regardless. As for workflows: When you update koha-conf.xml, you need to clear the memcached and typically restart the Starman server so that it clears its own local cached copy of koha-conf.xml too. (In future, that restart should be done using Bug 21366.) When you upload a plugin for the first time, you shouldn't need to do anything to get it to appear. However, if you upgrade a plugin, you will need to restart Starman so that it loads the latest version of the plugin. (I have speculated on a way for that restart to be done automatically and gracefully at Bug 30897.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The bug reporter is not in the CC list, so I don't know if he's around to provide feedback. The latest manual specifies the correct location for currently-supported versions, Administration > Plugins, and provides additional information about usage. With respect to this bug, these questions remain: - Does the manual need references to the locations in Tools and Reports from which plugins oriented to those purposes can be run? - If yes, do those need to be accompanied by screenshots? (Assuming that they can be automated.) - Does the manual need a reference to the command "sudo koha-plack --reload {instancename}"? (Are there circumstances besides a plugin upgrade for which this is needed?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
