Plugin Gallery Location

There is reference in several topics to the 3.x Plugin Gallery yet the documentation suggests that it the gallery is now built in to OJS similar to Wordpress’s plug in functionality. So, if we want to manually install plugins (because the plug in gallery hangs forever), how do we get plugins and/or where are they located?

Thanks!

Hi @radjr,

I recommend fixing the Plugin Gallery (see OJS 3.1.1 Plugin Gallery not loading - #6 by asmecher); there are lots of pitfalls in manually installing plugins that the Plugin Gallery will take care of, such as ensuring the plugin is compatible with your version of OJS, and taking care of various installation steps that are easy to forget if you’re installing manually.

If you’re curious where the Plugin Gallery gets its data, it’s http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/xml/plugins.xml; there’s not currently a “user-friendly” view of this outside of OJS, though.
