CLI command for Plugins update notification

dagosalas · January 6, 2022, 3:52pm

Hi guys, In OJS there is a plugin called Plugins update notification, which ironically does not work if it is not up to date ;-).
So I would like to know if there is any CLI command that allows me to review the outdated plugins of an installation with OJS. Fundamentally considering that I have about 30 OJS installations.

Thank you!

Hi @dagosalas

No, no such tool exists. However, any plugin that is out dated will appear as such in the plugin gallery, if the plugin was installed that way.

Yeah, I know it, the problem is that there is no way to know when a plugin is updated (only when visiting the gallery), if at least there was an alert by mail or here in this forum with a message it would be great.

Yeah, the problem is that if a plugin is not in the gallery, then there is no way at all to know if there is a new version so any command line tool would be useless in that regard.

Dago, te escribo en nuestra lengua materna que seguro que a Jason no le importa.

Has probado este plugin de Clinton?

# PKP plugin shim for CLI usage

## Background
Problem: how do we interact with the [PKP Plugin Gallery](https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/settings-website#plugin-gallery) outside of the UI?  The correct way to approach this is to abstract the [plugin gallery operations](https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/blob/9f48cbe60d4471a23ffd8a1a46eb1a7e0986c027/controllers/grid/plugins/PluginGalleryGridHandler.inc.php#L271-L341) into a service class which would be reusable across the UI and the CLI, but we're not there yet.  Instead, let's cheat.

## CLI tool

This provides a new utility with minimal options:

Todavía no es oficial pero para creo que hace justo lo que necesitas.

Yo lo voy a usar pronto para gestionar los plugins de mis revistas dentro de los contenedores docker (no consulto la versión actual, directamente bajo la última y chao), pues… como sabes, el tema de los plugins complica mucho los ugrades y si se puede automatizar, las cosas resultan mucho más fáciles.

Un abrazo,
