Plugin panel#
The plugin panel allows the administrator to add a public plugin to MINERVA instance. These plugins will be displayed in the Plugins menu in the map. The plugin panel contains:
- Name of the plugin
- Version of the plugin
- URL of the plugin
- Default in Projects lists projects on this MINERVA instance for which this plugin is default (starts when the map is opened)
- Available Projects lists projects on this MINERVA instance for which this plugin is available (visible for users in the Plugins left panel)
- Manage button allows to configure a plugin, with the following options:
- Edit Plugin allows to set projects for which this plugin is either default or available.
- Setting a plugin as default for a project automatically sets it as available for that project
- Setting default or available for
all projects (*)(first option) makes all other tick boxes inactive
- Re-Validate allows to re-validate the plugins details (name, version)
- Remove the plugin from a MINERVA instance
- Edit Plugin allows to set projects for which this plugin is either default or available.
To add a new plugin, click Add plugin button, and paste the plugin url into the URL field. The name and version fields are usually filled automatically from the plugin content. Click Add plugin to add the plugin to a MINERVA instance.
Note: The administrator cannot add the same plugin twice to the MINERVA in the Administrator panel (the notification is displayed). But a user can upload an already exiting plugin via Plugins menu in the user’s view of a map.
