How do I install QuickSubmit plugin to OJS 3.2.1? - plugins

When I go to Plugin Gallery and click on "install quicksubmit plugin", I get a message saying that The loaded plugin file does not contain a folder that matches the plugin name. Where do I save this folder?
I found an explanation on PKP Help that said:
Most plugins should come with a readme file of some sort, and should also list which versions of OJS they are compatible with. To install a plugin, you should simply need to copy the files to the correct plugins subdirectory in your OJS installation. For example, if the plugin you want to install is considered a 'generic' plugin, copy the plugin folder to plugins/generic/; if it is classed as an import plugin, it should go into plugins/importexport; and so on.
But where can I find this plugins/generic/ or plugins/importexport folders?

This error is usually when you trying to direct install latest plugin into previous version of ojs please follow bellow steps to easily install this plugin.
Download the exact released version for your ojs from
https://github.com/pkp/quickSubmit .
Example if you are running ojs 3.2.0 then download the relevant zip
upload this zip file and extract to your ojs/plugins/importexport directory
after extraction login to dashboard and check in tool->import/export plugin will be installed

nopcommerce 4.2 payment methods missing

I have NopCommerce source code and I cannot see any payment methods which used to come default with nopcommerce. It says download from Marketplace but I cant find PayPal Standard plugin on the marketplace
In the root plugin folder I can see the plugin Nop.Plugin.Payments.PayPalStandard which has some files. I believe this is a source code of the plugin. Then I can also see an empty folder of Payments.PayPalStandard
I can see the plugin in action on the demo nopcommerce site so I believe it is still relevant and available.
Am I missing something? Where can I find the plugin and how can I install it on my application
Please download no source code from github.
Refer this link for download deployed code.
It's not possible that any payment plugin not there into plugin folder.
So please dowload from given link and check there are many payment plugins inbuilt.
Currently I have downoad nopCommerce_4.20_NoSource_SelfContained.rar and checked Payments.PayPalStandard is there.
Docs:
\Plugins is a Visual Studio solution folder that contains plugin projects. Physically it's located in the root of your solution. But plugins DLLs are automatically copied in \Presentation\Nop.Web\Plugins\ directory which is used for already deployed plugins because the build output paths of all plugins are set to ..\..\Presentation\Nop.Web\Plugins\{Group}.{Name}\. This allows plugins to contain some external files, such as static content (CSS or JS files) without having to copy files between projects to be able to run the project.
You need to build the project Nop.Plugin.Payments.PayPalStandard, to publish the binary files in the output directory of \Presentation\Nop.Web project. Then run the project and complete the installation process of the plug-in in the administrative panel.

How to put Nuget libraries on a folder

i generally add any library from Nuget to my project like issuing this command
Install-Package Mvc3Futures
then i have seen everything related to that library just added in my project. some one told me that library can be added to folder and later we can add that folder to my project like this way tools > options > package manager - add your folder .
really i have no idea how we can add library to any folder from Nuget. if it is possible then please show me the way in step-by-steps. thanks
I cannot give you a step-by-step, but you can relocate/specify the place of the packages folder: Is it possible to change the location of packages for NuGet?. But this way all of your packages location will change, I don't think you can do that per package. During installation you can specify where you install the package from (but not to): http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/command-line-reference, see Install Command.

How to install the Xpand in Eclipse?

I m trying to install Xpand in Eclipse. I am doing it through update manager. However the download stack at around 29%. I use the following link:
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/xpand/updates/nightly/
Alternatively I downloaded the zip file from this link:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/downloads/?project=xpand
Then I tried to do install->new software-> Add -> Archive and I pointed at the zip file. I thought that this would gonna work since it uses the local zip file.Again it stucks around 29%.
Now I am thinking to manually add the plug-in to the eclipse but I m not sure how:
The content of the zip are:
- binary(folder)
- features(folder)
- plugins(folder)
- artifact.jar
- content.jar
I know that I have to copy the features and the plugins folder in the corresponding ones in the eclipse folder. However I don`t know what to do with the binary(folder) and the artifact.jar/content.jar files.
Anybody could help me out please?
Thnx
I don't know why the installation is getting stuck at 29%. It may be a firewall/proxy problem on your end, or it may be corrupt metadata in the archive. It's worth following up on the Xpand mailing list or forum.
But, if you want to install it, you can unzip the archive into your dropins folder inside of your eclipse. This will work unless Xpand requires any third party jars.
i use this updatesite for xpand install. and it works well
xpand - http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/xpand/updates/
go to menu:
help-install new software-(add the link)-select all-finish

Installing a Griffon plugin in zip format from private remote url

Somehow I cannot find and answer to this in griffon documentation nor googling...
I have created a griffon plugin. It gets packaged as usual with:
griffon package-plugin
Then I can install it locally in my application specifying path to the zip file resulting from packaging:
griffon install-plugin /path-to-plugin/plugin-name.zip
I can even upload it to a remote url and install it from there:
griffon install-plugin address-of-my-site/plugin-name.zip
How can I make installing of this plugin from my url an automatic step during building/running of a griffon application, which uses it?
I work on the application with another developer and don't want to force him to install the plugin manually every time when something changes. It should be downloaded from my site automatically. But I don't want to release the plugin to the griffon official repository either - it's pretty experimental stuff still.
There is a line in application.properties, which tells griffon, that the plugin is needed:
plugins.plugin-name=0.3
But it cannot be installed from griffon central repository, like all the other plugins, because it's not there, obviously.
I looked into documentation of "griffon.project.dependency.resolution" section in BuildConfig.groovy, but I can't find anything useful for my purposes there.
Do I miss something?
The answer you seek is found in sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the guide. The first section describes an example of a plugin being pushed to a local repository. The second section describes the types of repositories supported by Griffon.
Plugins that are available from a plugin repository that can be queried by the build system (i.e, the repository is configured) are instantly available to be installed using the short notation you want.
There's always a local repository configured by Griffon: griffon-local. Pushing releases to it will make them instantly available to install-plugin, list-plugins, plugin-info, etc.

Modifying Existing Eclipse Plugin and Correctly Installing it

I downloaded the source code for the EMF based UML2 Plugin and changed a class in the org.eclipse.uml2.uml.edit project to remove special characters when returning string representations. Now when I export the projects and place the jar files either in the dropins directory or replace my current uml2 plugin jar files in plugins directory, The UML files are no longer recognized, in short my modified plugin does not install correctly (no error is thrown and I can see the files being picked up under Plugins->Target Platform) .
However, When I run the plugin as an eclipse application (from the workspace) I can see the changes I made being reflected in the new instance of eclipse.
What can I do to ensure that the plugin installs correctly?
Is there a documented procedure of how to build the uml2 plugin (or any comparable plugin) after modification?
Select the project and open the context menu. There is an entry PDE near the bottom of the menu. In there, you can find an entry to build the plugin for deployment. This gives you the features and plugins directory with the fixed files. Copy both into your Eclipse install.
Unless the UML2 plugins require some kind of magic build script, exporting the one plugin you changed and overwriting the original in your Eclipse installation should be the easiest solution. One potential problem which comes to mind is conflicting plugin version numbers: make sure you don't have two identical versions of your modified plugin in your Eclipse installation.
When debugging plugins which apparently don't work properly at runtime, I always look at Help > About Eclipse Platform > Configuration Details. This lists all the plugins found by Equinox during startup, along with their status (see the Javadoc of the org.osgi.framework.Bundle interface for explanation).
I faced the exact same problem as you describe here . I dont have any answer to your problem but i am sharing what worked for me .
I created a local update site of the plugin on my system. Create update site for your plug-in article explains very very nicely the steps needed to accomplish this .
