Plugin Manager for Roundcube

Lists installed plugins, shows local vs latest versions, and highlights Update available. Works with Larry, Elastic, and custom skins.

Versioning

• plugin_manager now keeps its own canonical version in plugin_manager::PLUGIN_VERSION inside plugin_manager.php.
• plugin_manager::info() exposes the plugin metadata array used for self-identification.
• Development builds should use a +dev suffix such as 1.0.0+dev.
• Release builds should use a clean tagged version such as 1.0.0.

For a release bump:

1. Update plugin_manager::PLUGIN_VERSION in plugin_manager.php or run sh scripts/bump-version.sh 1.0.0.
2. Update CHANGELOG.md.
3. Create the matching release tag after verification.

Features

• Discovers installed plugins
• Shows local version (from composer.json, @version tags, or best-effort)
• Checks online (Packagist / GitHub releases, falls back to tags)
• Bold “Update available”
• One-click (check now) per row to bypass cache
• Diagnostics panel for connectivity
• sources.map.php to resolve outliers or mark plugins as bundled
• Scroll-friendly UI for large lists

Install

A) Composer (recommended)

1. In your Roundcube root (the folder with composer.json), run:

   composer require texxarulez/plugin_manager

   This uses roundcube/plugin-installer to place the plugin in plugins/plugin_manager.

2. Enable the plugin in Roundcube config (e.g. config/config.inc.php):

   $config['plugins'][] = 'plugin_manager';

3. Clear caches.

B) Manual

1. Copy the plugin_manager/ folder into roundcube/plugins/.
2. Enable in config:

   $config['plugins'][] = 'plugin_manager';

3. Clear caches.

Optional

• To raise GitHub API limits, set in plugins/plugin_manager/config.inc.php (or main config):

  $config['pm_github_token'] = 'ghp_xxxxx';

• To default remote checks on/off:

  $config['pm_remote_checks'] = true; // or false

See INSTALL.md and USER_GUIDE.md for details.

Hide plugins from the UI

You can suppress specific plugins from appearing in the Plugin Manager by adding their directory names to pm_hidden_plugins in config.inc.php.

// Hide the built-in example plugins
$config['pm_hidden_plugins'] = array('zipdownload', 'managesieve');

This only affects display in the manager; it does not enable/disable the plugin itself.
