Re: [request] Request for plugin to install multiple plugins at once
Regarding novices/advanced users I agree with Jeff and Stef: a dump of txp_plugins is a no-brainer and massive time saver for the latter, while real novices would probably be better off with installing plugins one by one based on their actual requirements to keep things simple.

Re: [request] Request for plugin to install multiple plugins at once
My reasons for suggesting this are to help speed up development time for me but to also make Textpattern more accessible to newer users. I would really like Textpattern to become more popular and one of the features I admire in Wordpress is how well it handles plugins; I’m not suggesting a system like Wordpress because it’s such a radical change but at least a nod in that direction.
I had not realised I could dump the plugin db so I will try that in the future.

Re: [request] Request for plugin to install multiple plugins at once
Hi
If plugins add a column or table to the dB, dumping the table or using mem_templates won’t install these properly. Or am I wrong?
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

That’s right. Same goes for any prefs installed by plugins.
Code is topiary

Re: [request] Request for plugin to install multiple plugins at once
I think it’s possible to make such plugin – i had some hard-coded decisions which installed plugins from files. You put desired files in the directory, press “OK” and all plugins are get installed. Do you think such plugin is worth to be donated?

Re: [request] Request for plugin to install multiple plugins at once
We’ve been experimenting with the Drupal Features module at work; it’s incredibly useful for redeploying common components that we tend to use for a number of our clients. I’m wondering if there are some useful ideas in there for applying to this requested Textpattern functionality?
