experimental

This plugin allows administrators of the wiki to easily manage the wiki's plugins. It can:

• provide a list of installed plugins and details information on each
• install a plugin from a remote URL
• remove an existing plugin
• update a plugin from the original source location
• refresh the wiki's plugins after a manual plugin installation

The plugin is bundled with Dokuwiki. By default it is disabled. To enable the plugin, add the following line to your conf/local.php

$conf['pluginmanager'] = 1;              //enable automated plugin management

After enabling the plugin manager you should access it (Admin button, Manage Plugins… menu option) and select the "Refresh Plugins" button. This will sweep all plugin style and javascript files into the form used by the Plugin Manager. Without doing this you will lose access to the styles and scripts of previously loaded plugins & the Plugin Manager itself will not display correctly.

• chicken and egg with Plugin Manager styles. Dokuwiki needs to know to continue to support old style/script system until after first refresh plugins is performed.
