Hi Vincent.

Thanks for your excellent work.
I'm using mantis as bugtracker and I'd like to transfer couple of my patches on plugins.

I'm trying to create, for the beginning, a simple 'hello world' plugin.
I've followed the manual on [bugtracker.morinie.fr].
The plugin shows on plugins_page.php but when I click on 'install now' I get the 'Check install script FAIL Corrupted file' .

Could you please give me some hints.

I'm using Mantis-1.1.1 .


Best Regards.
Roman

Hi,

It seems that you forget to provide an install_inc.php file.

Here is an example: click here.

Thanks for quick replay.
Non it is not the case.
I have all files as described in [bugtracker.morinie.fr]
I think about to reduce the code so I can find the where it stucks

Can you post the content of the install_manual_inc.php file?

I didn't change anything it the same as on wiki
here you go

<?php

$t_result = array();

So your plugin is located into plugins/myplugin/ directory?

If yes, make sure that there is no error in the name of the file install_inc.php.

The file install_inc.php is in mantis_installation/plugins/my_plugin directory.
The code is copy / paste of => [bugtracker.morinie.fr]

So change $t_result[&#039;plugin&#039;] = &#039;myplugin&#039;; to $t_result[&#039;plugin&#039;] = &#039;my_plugin&#039;;

I&#039;ve updated the Wiki to explain the $t_result[&#039;plugin&#039;] meaning.

Now the message is &#039;Install/Upgrade instructions missing&#039;.
Thanks for the comments on wiki. It makes the procedure much more clear.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/11/2008 12:31PM by romanh.

In your install_inc.php file you must have function like this:

function plugins_my_plugin_install_description_plugin( $p_step ) {

and not like this:

function plugins_pluginmanager_install_description_plugin( $p_step ) {

(my_plugin instead of pluginmanager).

I&#039;ve changed all the install/upgrade functions :
plugins_my_plugin_install_description_plugin
plugins_my_plugin_upgrade_description_plugin
plugins_my_plugin_install_plugin
plugins_my_plugin_upgrade_plugin
The $t_result[&#039;plugin&#039;] display right the name of my plugin
It doesn&#039;t help. I&#039;m still getting &#039;Install/Upgrade instructions missing&#039;

The following functions are missing:

plugins_my_plugin_install_undo_plugin
plugins_my_plugin_upgrade_undo_plugin

These functions are called if the installation fails (to remove what has already been installed).

Shouldn&#039;t all of the patterns &#039;pluginmanager&#039; be changed to my_plugin?

Yes. Here is another example with the plugin Search:

Done for :
plugins_my_plugin_upgrade_undo_plugin and plugins_my_plugin_install_undo_plugin
It didn&#039;t help.

It seem&#039;s that there is a bug in the plugin manager.

Can you add this in your install_inc.php file:

Few step before you must have an information of the type of operation: Repair/Install/Upgrade. What do you have? (this is the "Install or Upgrade?" answer)

I&#039;ve replaced all the pluginmanager by the name of &#039;my plugin&#039; in all functions. The plugin&#039;s installed without the option &#039;uninstall&#039; and it&#039;s added one more link &#039;Plugins&#039; among the links.

That&#039;s because you didn&#039;t change the content of the install_inc.php file. The install_inc.php file represents what the plugin manager has to do to install the plugin (patch files, patch the database...).

Getting there step by step.
I&#039;ve used your example with the plugin Search to build my install_inc.php.
The installation works well and plugin is installed.
The problem is that the “uninstall” link is missing.
When I run manualy the [myserver] . The plugin is removed (directory included) but the link stays. I&#039;ve got already 5 undelete links .....
I&#039;ve checked the plugin db tables :
mantis_plugins_pm_dependencies_table, mantis_plugins_pm_function_overwrite_table and mantis_plugins_pm_list_table
All references of myplugin has disappeared I have no idea where the links are coming from.

The link appears because of the content of plugins_search_install_plugin function and is removed with the function plugins_search_uninstall_plugin.
