Koha plugins allow users to add additional tools/features.
We have to make some changes in Koha installation.
Follow the steps to get ready Koha to facilitate plugins,
Open a Terminal and execute following commands,
Create a directory for plugins,
sudo su
mkdir /var/lib/koha/plugins
cd /var/lib/koha
chmod -R 755 plugins
Open the following file using your default text editor (e.g. gedit, leafpad)
sudo leafpad /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml
Go to the bottom of the file and add the following line before </config>
<pluginsdir>/var/lib/koha/plugins</pluginsdir>
<enable_plugins>1</enable_plugins>
Save and close the file.
Open Apache configuration file for Koha,
sudo leafpad /etc/apache2/sites-available/library.conf
Add the following line at the bottom of the file,
Alias /plugin/ "/var/lib/koha/plugins/"
Save and close the file.
Restart Apache,
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Start Koha and goto,
Administration > System Preferences > Enhanced content > Plugins > UseKohaPlugins > Enable
Save preferences.
Goto Koha > Tools > Tool Plugins
You can upload and run plugins from here.

ReplyDeleteIs there any plugin KPZ file available for catalogue card printing ?
Regards
Very interesting! :) But this doesn't fit with current package koha-common installation, and:
ReplyDeleteis very risky to put 777 permissions to a folder, it should be only to koha users (for each instance):
/etc/koha/sites/INSTANCE/koha-conf.xml
/var/lib/koha/INSTANCE/plugins
Alias /plugin/ "/var/lib/koha/INSTANCE/plugins"
