General information: a plugin management feature is planned for the future, until then plugins have to be installed and configured by hand as described in this document.

Installation

To install a translate5-plugin, put it into the folder

  /application/modules/editor/Plugins

To install plugin-specific sql, run the translate5 updater.

Activation

To activate a plugin,

• Open the Zf_configuration table of translate5 in an MySQL editing tool like MySQL workbench or PhpMyAdmin
• find the row where the "name" column has the value runtimeOptions.plugins.active
• edit the column "value" and add the bootstrap class name of the relevant plug-in to the JSON list, that already exists there. To find the bootstrap class name go to the corresponding page for your plug-in in translate5 confluence wiki.

For example: To enable most of the currently available core-plugins configure this:

["editor_Plugins_LockSegmentsBasedOnConfig_Bootstrap","editor_Plugins_NoMissingTargetTerminology_Bootstrap","editor_Plugins_SegmentStatistics_Bootstrap","editor_Plugins_TermTagger_Bootstrap","editor_Plugins_Transit_Bootstrap","editor_Plugins_ManualStatusCheck_Bootstrap"]

Deactivation / Deinstallation

To deactivate a plugin, remove its bootstrap classname from the above mentioned configuration.

Ensure, that no running processes / workers are using the plugin. Otherwise this could lead to problems.

After deactivation a plugin can be deinstalled by executing the deinstall_*.sql scripts in the plugins database directory, then the whole plugin directory can be removed.
