GS Plugin Installer is a plugin installer created for the GetSimple CMS, versions 3.3.x, It has not been tested on versions older than 3.3.5, but I don't think the plugin architecture has changed drastically in the 3.3.x releases, if anyone more knowledable of Plugin Development in GS can confirm this please let me know.
The plugin works by querying the Extend API url http://get-simple.info/api/extend/all.php
which to my knowlege is mostly undocumented, it will then cache the result into a JSON file, I have chosen to do it this way because if you were to query the api on every request, it will be extremely slow, since there is no way to "paginate" the response from the api.
The cache will by default be refreshed every 24 hours, but by clicking the "Refresh list" button will force the cache to refresh, NOTE that the Extend API is cached and will only update every 4 hours according to the official documentation.
The jQuery plugin DataTables is used to display, search and sort the plugin list, this enables you to quickly find the plugin you are looking for and install or uninstall it.
1. Download the plugin zip file.
2. Unzip it into /plugins
3. Activate it in the "Plugins" tab in your GetSimple CMS admin area.
4. Done
