[Koha-devel] How to install Koha plugins for development

[Fridolin SOMERS]

Hi,

Plugins are great :D

Note that git repo must contain dirs Koha/Plugin/xxx

For example add 
<pluginsdir>/home/koha/plugins/koha-plugin-opac-matomo</pluginsdir> for 
plugin https://github.com/biblibre/koha-plugin-opac-matomo

For some plugins you may have to patch to set version.
For example https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-coverflow
Replace in Koha/Plugin/Com/ByWaterSolutions/CoverFlow.pm :
   our $VERSION = "{VERSION}";

Don't forget to restart plack after each code change.
Re-run misc/devel/install_plugins.pl if you implement a new hook in your 
plugin.

You may look at 
https://github.com/bywatersolutions/dev-koha-plugin-kitchen-sink to see 
examples of implemtation.

Best regards 🦄
