Dokuwiki broken?

Bug
,
21

The existing plugins that come with initial installation look ok, yes. On the other hand, newly installed plugins via the webgui of Dokuwiki look ‘different’ to me…

I installed the button plugin below, and this plugin and also upgrade plugin have no symlinks?

So where exactly do the additional plugins get installed e.g. what storage volume, and is this correct?

Thinking out loud here!

TIA

the upgrade plugin is disabled by default

I hope that I could explain why the symlink and a folder

We mount a volume under /storage, this is what you will save on your drive exactly at /storage/lib/plugins/, but the container comes with some default plugin saved under /var/www/html/lib/plugins.core

the plugins under /var/www/html/lib/plugins.core can be modified at every reboot of the container they will be untouched by you, because they are bundled not inside your volume but inside the container itself, hence to use them they are linked by the container’s creation script

at each start, this script is running to make available the core php files

Obviously if you modify a plugin under /storage/lib/plugins/button, it exists under the volume and you will break it

Ok, is that due to the fact that an upgade is only supported via software center, or other reason?

If it does not amtter how the upgrade is done (software center of manually via dokuwiki webgui, is there a way to enable it?

Thanks!

Ok, how about a plugin install simply installed via the Dokuwiki webgui, no modifications?

You upgrade dokuwiki by a new container

Yes it will work but your modification to the plugin will be saved due to the volume

So the upgrade plugin will never work, and upgrades can only be done via the Software Center when a new version is available?

Yes, one needs to upgrade from Software Center.
The upgrade (plugin) is disabled in the official dokuwiki container, I guess to avoid issues when plugin and container updates are used, see docker/root/var/www/html/conf/plugins.docker.php at 6b3b0d3eef8a9d8234d191cb3139529d6cda9ac3 · dokuwiki/docker · GitHub

the issue has not been set verified, we have some cases not verified by the community I bet. Once done I would prefer to wait the 25 august (the return of the dev team) but if all test cases are (well) covered we could do it early
