Plugin template generator

[jbrodriguez]

Hello all,

 

Is there such a thing as a plugin xml template generator ?

 

Or should I copy from an existing one and adapt it ?

If you're looking at a plg file the instructions are here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=34970.0.  (or you can look at CA's plg which is pretty generic)

 

If you want the xml files for plugins which CA uses then look here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=44505.0

But directly answer your question there is no such thing as a template generator beyond the one used to categorize plugins / docker apps

Thanks Squid, that's what I was looking for.

 

I'm migrating unBALANCE to be a plugin, so I'll probably come back with a few questions (hopefully it's ok to post in this sub-forum).

Squid, I 'think' I finished setting up the plugin for unBALANCE.

 

The plg and xml file live here: https://github.com/jbrodriguez/unraid/tree/master/plugins

 

What would be the next steps ?

 

Should I open a support thread here or first wait for you guys to vet the plg/xml files ?

 

Pls advise.

There is no vetting at all on plugins (or docker containers for that matter) beyond me making sure that the xml file is ok.

 

All I would do is make another support thread in the plugin section (for some reason you're not a developer, so bug jonp to make you one) then ask a moderator to move it to the 6.1 section. (I am assuming its 6.1 compliant)

 

Update the XML to reflect the new support link.

 

I'll add the repository right now, and it should be available within an hour or so on CA.

Hi Squid,

 

I've bugged jonp as per your instructions , but haven't heard back.

 

Can I open a support thread here and then you move it to the unverified or verified child board?

 

Or do you suggest another way ?

Jonp is at ces and partying it up.  Just create it and a mod will move
