I am busy right now, but I can have a look later. Meanwhile it would help if you reproduced the problem using Apache and posted the steps to reproduce. |

Thank you @infrastation. I am trying on a different distro now. But will try using apache and ubuntu as well. |

Ok.. same thing happens on Centos8 with Racktables 0.22.0.. Adding some screenshots 2024-05-07 14_39_12-Tortool-CentOS.png (222,136 bytes) 2024-05-07 14_37_53-Tortool-CentOS.png (112,476 bytes) 2024-05-07 14_37_30-Tortool-CentOS.png (108,056 bytes) |

Does renaming "pluging.php" to "plugin.php" fix the problem? |
|
|
Good catch! But the problem still persist even after renaming the file and restarting Apache just for kicks. Attached screenshot. Also. this is the php code I am adding to that plugin.php file. https://pastebin.com/V6UVYTac 2024-05-07 18_16_10-Tortool-CentOS.png (240,681 bytes) |

In my test on Debian 12 things work as expected: if and only if the correct file is in the correct location and is readable by httpd, the list of plugins in the web interface includes the plugin. The only exemption to this is a broken feedback loop of PHP opcache: if the file was readable earlier and made it into opcache, making it unreadable will not invalidate the cached code. Restarting httpd restores the feedback loop. Please set up a Debian 12 VM and provide exact steps to reproduce the problem. |

Ok.. I will try on Debian.. but just to confirm a few things. 1. The name of the folder that contains the plugin should not matter? the tool should read the plugin.php file and load it. 2. I created the folder with the same structure and permissions as the other default plugins. is that correct? Thanks again for looking into this. |
|
|
1. yes 2. yes |

Ok.. so did it on Debian and the issue persists. Tried renaming the subdirectory to a different thing and still the plugin does not show. One interesting thing is that if I rename any of the default plugins they wont show on the list on the GUI. So far. 3 different distros and same issue.. If I wasn't already bald I would say I've lost all my hair on this.. hehehe. Attached screenshot for reference. 2024-05-08 15_41_16-Deb-Tortools.png (257,710 bytes) |

Thank you for making additional tests. This leads me to realize that I answered [1] above wrong: the name of the directory actually matters. For this plugin the directory name must be "csvimport", not "import" or "csv_import". Excuse me. |

THAT WAS IT! GEEZ!!! That's a critical piece of info that should be added into the comments of all the PHP plugin files. I am sure I am not the only one that has stumbled on this. Sir. You are a gentlement and a scholar! I appreciate the help on this big time. I should find a way to buy you beer. .~~~~. i====i_ |cccc|_) |cccc| `-==-' |

You are welcome, now closing the case as resolved. There is a donation button on racktables.org if you feel like it. |
