Hey!

 

So ive finally gotten around to starting a plugin to support a changelog button.

The idea will be to use opencontainer labels to attempt to pull changelog info.

 

Anyway ive gotten a very basic plugin https://github.com/phyzical/docker.versions , i based it off of the https://github.com/scolcipitato/folder.view project .

But when i try to copy it into the /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ it breaks the existing plugins. if i try to install it in the plugin install via https://github.com/phyzical/docker.versions/blob/main/docker.versions.plg

i get
```
plugin: installing: docker.versions.plg

Executing hook script: pre_plugin_checks

plugin: downloading: docker.versions.plg ...

done

Executing hook script: pre_plugin_checks

plugin: XML file doesn't exist or xml parse error

Executing hook script: post_plugin_checks
```

 

is the a doc or guide that explains the bare minimum as most ive stumbled across seem to gloss over alot of the nitty gritty details?

 

thanks

You always need to use the "raw" URL, not a URL that is a web page:

 

EG: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phyzical/docker.versions/main/docker.versions.plg

well i feel silly 😃.

 

Thanks for the reply, works as expected.

@Squidsorry figured i would just hijack my own thread again, how does one go about publishing a plugin to CA? i came across this

 

 

But it doesnt seem to say how i request an addition? do i just create a new plugin support thread and ping you to delegate the review?

thanks!
