Hello, all! I would like to install one plugin, the room reservation system. In the 20.05 update seminar, the panelists said that the plugin administration (installation, deletion, etc.) is on the administration page. Where? We installed 20.05 over the summer, and I do not see it in either Tools or Administration. I checked Global System Preferences for it, but I did not see it. I used the common terms (*plugin* and *plugins*), but it did not appear. Does another entity have to turn it on? Is it in one of the bugfix updates since the summer, e.g., 20.05.03? Please enlighten us. Thanks for your help, everyone. -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.

You first need to activate the Koha plugin system in file "/etc/koha/sites/$YOURINSTANCE/koha-conf.xml"and restart your Apache HTTP Server: <pluginsdir>/var/lib/koha/$YOURINSTANCE/plugins</pluginsdir> <enable_plugins>1</enable_plugins> You will also have to activate Koha system preference "UseKohaPlugins". Then you'll find the plugin option in Koha menu "Tools". This is all described in the fine Koha manual: * https://koha-community.org/manual/20.05/en/html/plugins.html Hope this helps.

* https://koha-community.org/manual/20.05/en/html/plugins.html
The manual is out of date. UseKohaPlugins was removed for 20.05. See bug 20415: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20415 Coincidentally, I'm having the same problem that is being discussed here, but only on koha-testing-docker; a stock installation of 20.05 on Debian is working fine. I can see that pluginsdir and enable_plugins are set correctly in koha-conf.xml, and I've logged in as a user with superlibrarian privileges. But I don't see "Tool plugins" under "Additional tools" in the Tools page. I've tried restarting plack, apache2, and koha-common, to no avail. -- If we all work together, we can totally disrupt the system. --Ashleigh Brilliant
Did you restart memcached as well? The changes to the koha-conf.xml file are cached. El mar, 24 nov 2020 a las 17:03, Mark Alexander (<marka@pobox.com>) escribió:

I just tried that, and it had no effect. This problem occurred before I made any attempts to change koha-conf.xml, which was already set up correctly (as far as I can tell) by koha-testing-docker. So restarting all of these services should not have been necessary in any case. -- My life would be very empty if I had nothing to regret. --Ashleigh Brilliant
