Missing tab for new plugin

lex8009 · Post by **lex8009** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 8:53 pm

Please help. I've followed the instruction (http://cactiusers.org/wiki/PluginArchitectureInstall) on installing plugin architecture and added a plugin new plugin is not listed on the realms settings for the user.

Created the "links" folder under .\cacti\plugins. Added these lines in config.php

/*Plugin */

$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'links';

/* make sure these values refect your actual database/host/user/password */

Thanks

Your config does look correct, but just for clearity (since you didn't mention it) you did extract the files from the links plugin and place them in the directory you created, correct? So you should have the file at .\cacti\plugins\links\setup.php

that's correct.

Again, just to be sure... did you add both those lines? The first one should have already been there. You have installed the plugin architecture, right?

Huh? If you installed the plugin architecture, then the

Code: Select all

$plugins = array();

line would have already been added. I don't think the plugin architecture part installed right...

As cigamit said, if the setup.php file is in place, then it should all appear as expected, unless the PA wasn't in right, in which case that code would never be called and nothing would happen.

It's just about the simplest plugin you can write, so I doubt it's the plugin, somehow.

I don't understand. What link?

The only thing the plugin does is show a tab, so if that isn't there, what is it you see that makes you think it works?
