Description Alexander Wagner 2025-05-07 08:40:17 UTC
The Koha manual outlines the procedures to setup the plugin system via

https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/plugins.html#set-up

This mentions that one should set `<plugins_enable>1</plugins_enable>` in `koha-conf.xml`.

However, due to Bug 25672 it seems necessary to also set

```
<plugins_restricted>0</plugins_restricted>
```

if one wants to enable plugin uploads via the browser(?).

This setting is not yet documented (It seems that "needs documentation"-flag on Bug 25672 tries to raise the flag here?)

Especially, as said setting is given in `koha-conf.xml` way further down it gets easily overlooked and especially to the uninitiated one has a pretty hard time to fiddle it out. (Thanks @cait ;)

Equally, 

```
<plugins_restart>1</plugins_restart>
```

misses documentation.
