    What did you drag?

    Did you unzip them first?

    Which plugins have you tried?

  • darkmdbeenerdarkmdbeener New

    teamspeak-server-plugin and online now they both were unzipped.

    So they don't appear in the Dashboard?

    What about under the disabled tab?

  • darkmdbeenerdarkmdbeener New

    under all, and disabled they are not listed

    I guess it has something to do with Vanillas Plugin Cache and a caching misconfiguration. I was to lazy to solve the problem, but I have made a plugin which helps me in such cases:

    <?php defined('APPLICATION') or die();

$PluginInfo['ClearPluginCache'] = array(
    'Name' => 'Clear Plugin Cache',
    'Description' => 'Clears plugin and config cache on every enable/disable of this plugin.',
    'Version' => '0.1',
    'Author' => 'Robin Jurinka',
    'License' => 'MIT'
);

class ClearPluginCachePlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {
    public function setup() {
        Gdn::PluginManager()->ClearPluginCache();
        Gdn_Configuration::ClearCache();
    }
    public function OnDisable() {
        Gdn::PluginManager()->ClearPluginCache();
        Gdn_Configuration::ClearCache();
    }
}

    Enabling or disabling clears Vanilla plugin cache which will show you all plugins with correct information.

    Your problem now is that you wouldn't be able to enable it! =)

    So add

        public function base_render_before() {
        Gdn::PluginManager()->ClearPluginCache();
        Gdn_Configuration::ClearCache();
    }

    to any of your currently enabled plugins and delete it right after you've reloaded any of your forums pages.

    If that doesn't help, I'd assume your problem has something to do with file access rights...

    R_J How do I enable the plugin in the first place if no plugins show?

    Have you checked the file permissions of the folders and contents?

    Sometimes the obvious is worth checking before goign on a wild goose chase.

    grep is your friend.

  • darkmdbeenerdarkmdbeener New

    yea I set the new plugins to 744

    and the contents of the folders?

  • x00x00 MVP

    You may need to 755 on some systems.

    grep is your friend.

    EDIT:
    still a no go.

    in cache delete files the end in .ini

    make sure conf/config.php file is writeable.

    grep is your friend.

  • darkmdbeenerdarkmdbeener New

  • x00x00 MVP

    what sort of hosting package are you on?

    I wonder if the directory truly reflects what is running on the server.

    grep is your friend.

  • darkmdbeenerdarkmdbeener New

    1and1 unlimited installed in free mode.

  • x00x00 MVP

    Did you install Vanilla through a script? Not a fan, you are better of installing it following the installation instructions from the horse's mouth.

    grep is your friend.

  • darkmdbeenerdarkmdbeener New

    yea >.> I might just have to do that seeing as I can not get it to work this way if it does not work still ill flip my proverbial table.

  • darkmdbeenerdarkmdbeener New

    So after all that I think I fixed my issue and I am super stupid. The plugin was not top level. it was the folder containing the folder.

    For other people make sure the folder does not have a version number, if it does then you might need to make sure its not containing the plugin. If it does make sure its out side of the containing folder like this http://puu.sh/hgXiI/f58c7a23c1.png

    The folder has to be named the same as the index of PluginInfo in the plugin file.

    grep is your friend.

  • darkmdbeenerdarkmdbeener New

    yep that fixed it.... im so stupid lol
