Love the plugin manager. I& #039;ve written a plugin that I& #039;d like to contribute. How do I package it up?
You must create two files: install_inc.php and package_inc.php in the plugin directory.
install_inc.php: this file is used to install/upgrade/remove the plugin (example: install_inc.php).
package_inc.php: this file is used by the packager to create the archive (example: package_inc.php).

Got it, but clicking "Submit" on the pacakger spits out some garbled text. eg:
xÚå[Y“ªÈ¶þ+& #039;êá¾TÄÞ€ÖÞR 7DÁ¡”I etc.
This is the .pkg file? Any thing I need to do to force this to download as binary?
Thanks!

Yes I think this is the .pkg file. Which internet browser do you use?

You can try by changing the line 103 in the plugins_package_page.php file (not tested):
before: Language: PHP span class="br0">( &<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;Content-Type: text/plain; name=&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>; . $t_plugin . &<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;-&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>; . $t_info[&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;version&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;] . &<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;.mantis.pkg&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>; );
after: Language: PHP span class="br0">( &<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>; . $t_plugin . &<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;-&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>; . $t_info[&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;version&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;] . &<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>;.mantis.pkg&<a href="http://bugtracker.morinie.fr/mantis/view.php?id=039" target="_blank">#039</a>; );
I& #039;ll add a bug on the bugtracker to fix this issue.

Thanks; will try now. I& #039;m in Firefox.
Odd, no luck in either IE or Firefox. Something about the headers (or some whitespace?) is confusing the browsers.
Or.. maybe I need to make a setting change on the server.
Will investigate tomorrow.
Found the problem. There was some white space (a couple of extra CR/LF) at the end of this included file:
include( $t_plugin_directory . & #039;package_inc.php& #039; );
that was causing the headers not to output. Removed the whitespace and it works fine.

OK, thanks for the info.

Hi,
I am trying to get some information on how to get started with plugin development for Mantis. Can I get some pointers please.
Thanks,

Hi,
I& #039;ve written a page in the Wiki. Tell me what type of plugin you want to write (something that change the Mantis behaviour like HTMLmail or BBCode, something that add new functions like Search, Reminder, Hierarchy...).
You can start with an existing plugin.

Vincent - Thanks for your replyI have seen the Wiki page already. I am basically trying to integrate CVS and Mantis. I am trying to provide additional functionality to Mantis by adding a page where a release manager can add a new branch for a release, specify who can work using that branch etc., I am right in looking at writing a plugin for this purpose?

Yes it is possible to write a plugin. You probably want to know what you need to write in what file, isn& #039;t it?

Yes Vincent. Missed to notice this reply of yours. I am looking for this information. Also, I do not see how I can generate the package files using the Plugin manager. I installed version 0.1.2 of the Plugin manager. Will updgrate to 0.1.3 meanwhile.

Stop don& #039;t upgrade (there are too much bugs in the new release).
I& #039;ll add information about the files in the Wiki tomorrow. The plugin manager uses the install_inc.php and package_inc.php files to create a packages (these files must be located into your plugin directory). You can find files examples in the Wiki.

Let& #039;s take an example 
Copy/paste the content of this page (I mean only the PHP code) in a package_inc.php file located into the the bbcode plugin directory (if you don& #039;t have the plugin BBCode you can use the pluginmanager directory).
Then browse the plugins_page.php with you favorite browser. In this page you have a part named Package a plugin, select a plugin and then click on submit. Normally you are prompted to save a .pkg file.

Good day Vincent,
I& #039;m using PluingManager 0.2.1 with a Mantis1.1.1.
My problem is that the drop down list in the "Package a plugin" section is empty. And there is only one drop down list.
Is it normal?
Thank you for your excellent work.
Gil
Do you have defined an info.php file in your plugin?

No i didn& #039;t.
I& #039;ve just created one following the same structure as the plugin manager& #039;s info.php file.
The good news are that the ddl is now filed with my plugin. And it does create the .pkg file.
However, it seems that i still have some errors to remdiate. I& #039;ll certainly post more messages. :-)
Thanx
