[SOLVED] Composer installs plugins, but they are not installed in Roundcube

[freeland]

Hello, everyone


I tried to install some roundcube plugins. When I describe them in composer.json and config.inc.php in the roundcube root directory and install them with:

Code Select Expand

php composer.phar install everything seems to be installed without any error in the terminal and every of the installed plugins are in /usr/share/roundcube/plugins. But when opening test e-mail account /settings/preferences/about I could see only the password plugin, archive, filesystem_attachments, jqueryui and zipdownload, that are installed before with:

Code Select Expand

apt-get install roundcube-plugins.

The system is Debian Jessie, Roundcube Webmail 1.1.5, PHP 5.6.26, mysql Ver. 15.1 Distrib 10.0.27-MariaDB, Apache 2.4.10. The plugins I tried were the following: emoticons, login_history, managesieve, newmail_notifier, rcguard.


Do you have any guess why the above plugins are not visible in Roundcube and accordingly they do not function there?

i don't know very much about the debian package version of roundcube or about composer but I think debian moves the config away from their default location. may be they have not set it up correctly so that composer can see the new config files and update them with the plugin information?

When I describe them in composer.json and config.inc.php in the roundcube root directory

Config file should not be placed in root directory.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, my friends! 

After:

Code Select Expand

sudo find / -name config.inc.php
I found another one in different Rc directory - /etc/roundcube and then finished successfully the installation steps, except that I can't only see login_history and rcguard plugins, but most important to me.

Cheers!

Finally I found my problem with the plugins (probably only in Debian).

After the manual install (or php composer.phar install) and:

Code Select Expand

nano /etc/roundcube/config.inc.php


and adding under the line of the last plugin:

Code Select Expand

'drcaptcha'


the last important installation step was to create a symlink of the plugin source directory to /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/:

Code Select Expand

ln -s /usr/share/roundcube/plugins/drcaptcha/ /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/


Now it appears in /settings/preferences/about and works! I could not activate last_login and rcguard,
although they were symlinked and appeared in /settings/preferences/about (in classic interface).
