Try to install externalFeedPlugin ojs 3.1.2-1

I try to install the externalFeedPlugin in ojs 3.1.2-1.

In the downloaded version of OJS from https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/ojs_download/ this plugin is not included. So I downloaded it from GitHub, and put it in plugins/generic folder. The plugin list is loaded, but when I have activated it in the plugins list in the settings > website >plugins page then the whole journal is broken! I can not load anything! When I remove the externalFeed folder it works again… However, I can not find the error! Please help me! I have tried with both the stable version and the master version from GitHub.

Here is the php error log:

Hi @eddoff,

That plugin isn’t ready for use. Watch Forward-port External Feed plugin to OJS 3 · Issue #2027 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub for information on its status.

thank you @asmecher!

Nothing seems to have happened for this plugin since beginning of 2018. When do you think you have a working version to ojs 3.1.x?

Hi @eddoff,

We haven’t had any demand for that plugin (until now), so it hasn’t been a priority. However, I recently asked one of our devs to look it over, so you may see some progress on it shortly.

I just got a similar error:

Call to undefined method Application::get() in */plugins/generic/customLocale/CustomLocalePlugin.inc.php:28

when trying to install the Custom Locale plugin as well. Is that plugin not ready for use yet either?
