Plugin Management not showing

[ramymamlouk]

Hi.

Had my cacti 0.8.7e installed on a CentOS 5.3 server, with RPMForge repos enabled. I had 2 plugins installed: monitor and ntop on the old plugins architecture, i.e. manual entries in include/global.php.

Today, it was upgraded to 0.8.7g, and I applied PIA 0.8.7g, and the plugins are not there anymore, and the section where the manual entries is not in include/global.php anymore.

Skimming through the forums and release notes, I understood that plugins are now detected automatically, and I should see a "Plugin Management" somewhere on my admin account, showing the isntalled plugins. However, I do not see that.

Any ideas?

It turned out that I had to manually check the "Plugin Management" checkbox under User Administration.

Don't forget to change the title of your thread to "SOLVED"

I haven't "Plugin Management" checkbox under User Administration.
1. cacti-plugin-0.8.7g-PA-v2.8.tar
2. mysql script executed
3. plugin monitor copied
4. permission www-data
5. /etc/cacti/debian.php

Code: Select all

$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'monitor';
$url_path = "/";

Try adding the "$plugins = array(); " to the global.php file.

Try adding the "$plugins = array(); " to the global.php file.

I added this string in global.php, but nothing was changed
Any ideas?

We changed ./include/config.php to hold the plugin array as well and removed that from global.php.
Unfortunately, debian had (has?) it's own files. So I frankly don't know how they splitted off our layout. For default customization, you would have to change the ./include/config.php only, it's included wherever needed
