On the Server Setup | Plugins tab administrators can install, activate
and deactivate plugins, rearrange, and configure plugins.
Installing Plugins
Traction plugins are delivered as .zip files. To install a new plugin
or to upgrade an existing plugin, click the browse button, locate the
.zip file, and press the install button.
The plugin will be added to the list. If
the plugin includes Java classes or libraries, it will be flagged as "requires
restart"; you need to restart Traction before the plugin's functionality
will be available.
Reordering Plugins
In some cases, plugins may depend on each other and you may need to
make sure that they appear in an order described by the provider of the
plugin. To
reorder the plugins, select a plugin by clicking its description and using
the arrows to move the selected plugin up and down.
To apply changes, press the apply button at the bottom of the page.
In rare
cases when Java libraries or class files depend on a specific ordering,
you may also need to restart Traction before the plugins will operate
as designed.
Configuring Plugins
Plugins may provide server, project, and user settings. Default
project and user settings can be provided by the server administrator.
To configure a plugin, press the configure link to the right of its description.
The plugin's settings editor will appear.
This plugin includes server settings and user settings. You
can fill in the requested information and press apply to save the changes.
You can also switch between plugins using the setting editor.
