Unable to View Plugin

Post by obrienkev »

Hi,

I am trying to install this plugin - https://github.com/cgaspard/mantiskanban

I have downloaded and copied the folder to the plugins folder. However, in the 'Manage Plugins' webpage I do not see the new plugin.

Why is this? Running Mantis version 1.2.15

Thanks

This is no Mantis plugin but an own web application.
I never tried myself.
It seems you have to copy the files to your web root and to edit the settings in file config.js.
After that you are able to access the login page of the app, e.g. http://mantiskanban.com/mantisbt/mantiskanban/

I tried using this one - https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/MantisKanban - which says to copy files to 'plugin' directory.

But still same issue. Not appearing on Mantis plugins page.

No, it says
Upload the "MantisKanban" folder to your Mantis "plugins" folder
So the question is: Do you have a subfolder MantisKanban under plugins directory where you copied the files?
If so, ensure that the name of the folder is MantisKanban and not something like mantiskanban.

Why didn't you use the first application? It looked quite nice at first sight.

Hi, In Mantis there is a plugins folder so I added the MantisKanban folder into this as in the attached screenshots.

I tried to install the plugin.
After copying the folder I could see the plugin listed in section "Available Plugins" on page "Manage" > "Manage Plugins"
Do you see it too?

After succeeding in ths first step, the plugin can't be installed as there are unmet dependencies for jQuery.

After installing https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/jquery I was able to install also MantisKanban.

No. I do not see it listed in the "Manage Plugins" page. Why would this be? I am on Mantis version 1.2.15.
Do I need to do a IIS Reset?

No idea, I don't use IIS. Just try it.

Are you sure that e:\replication\sites\... is the right path for changes?
Maybe this is just a copy of the live website.

Hi,

Yes, e:\replication\sites\ is the correct path.

Thanks
