Description Arslan Farooq 2016-04-29 06:12:44 UTC

The link for plugins page in 'Tools' labeled as 'Tool plugins' takes us to cgi-bin/koha/plugins/plugins-home.pl?method=tool, see: http://i.imgur.com/ak2T1lE.png

But not all installed plugins gets listed that way, see: http://i.imgur.com/ujPNiOZ.png 

If I manually remove ?method=tool from the address bar, and enter, then I can see all plugins, see: http://i.imgur.com/gH7kB8f.png

Hm, I think it's intended, as you only should see the 'Tools'-Plugins. There should be another link for seeing the 'Reports'-type plugins in another spot (iirc).

Indeed, Home > Reports > Reports plugins
/cgi-bin/koha/plugins/plugins-home.pl?method=report

For me it's a little bit confusing, but as Katrin said seems intended.

Comment 3 Arslan Farooq 2016-05-03 08:28:41 UTC

Hmm, then at least we should make heading of this page /cgi-bin/koha/plugins/plugins-home.pl?method=report to be "Report Plugins", and the heading of this /cgi-bin/koha/plugins/plugins-home.pl?method=tools should be "Tool Plugins".

Right now for both it's "Plugins". Which is confusing.

+1

I was also wondering: we now got import plugins and OPAC plugins too - I am not sue if they are a new type or not and how you get to display them.

Comment 5 Marcel de Rooy 2016-07-20 11:13:54 UTC

I think we should list all plugins.
Perhaps show its methods.
And add a filter or so to show only report or tool plugins.
I wrote a check plugin on another report; in order to see it, I have to adjust the URL.

This looks like it has been fixed in the latest version - the headings and links now say 'Tools plugins' or 'Reports plugins'.
