Getting Plugin Loader 2 beta 11 to work

[Catfish]

Hi I have triedto get plugins going and started with plugin loader 2 beta 11. The file i got was:
http://www.cmsimplewiki.com/lib/exe/fet ... beta11.zip from: http://www.cmsimplewiki.com/doku.php/pl ... uginloader

i followed the installation instructions as found at: http://www.cmsimplewiki.com/doku.php/pluginloader/start under the section "Installation"

I then edited variable plugins_folder to "plugins" (no double quotes) via CMSimple's settings config page and saved.

I guessed at this point maybe a new "plugins" toolbar would appear when logged into CMSimple admin mode. Didn't appear so I installed a gallery plugin: http://www.cmsimplewiki.com/doku.php/pl ... ersgallery as per instructions but still no plugins menu bar.


Have I done this right? Should I have this directory structure:

Code: Select all

CMSimpleRoot/
 -> plugins/
   -> pluginloader/
     -> css/
     -> language/
   -> gallery/
     -> config/
     -> css/
     etc. (rest of gallery plugin folders)

or should pluginloader/ be in CMSimple root?
PS: Using CMSimple 3.2

Have you tried to switch Edit/Preview? Below this Link shall appear the Plugins dropdown list.

Yes switching from edit to normal mode does not change anything.

1. The pluginloader is Beta - it may still have some bugs.
2. Try to zip/move all installed plugins out of the plugins directory and then install them back one after another - any change?
I just installed CMSimple3_2 with this plugin loader and everything works fine. There is a dropdown list with all installed plugins.

I have found my problem

plugins/ folder on webhost was first:

Code: Select all

plugins/
   -> pluginloader/
       -> css/ (etc.)
       -> languages/ (etc.)
       -> index.php (index.php file from pluginloader ZIP package)

then I moved all contents of plugins/pluginloader/ up one level to plugins/. The index.php script complained it couldn't find pluginloader/languages/ so i moved css/ and languages/ from plugins/ to plugins/pluginloader and left index.php in plugins.

So the final directory structure is:

Code: Select all

plugins/
   -> pluginloader/
       -> css/ (etc.)
       -> languages/ (etc.)
   -> index.php (index.php file from pluginloader ZIP package)

which is working

I think I uploaded the index.php file into the incorrect position.
