Unable to configure plugin and set library categories #79

Hi,

I recently installed the inventree_kicad plugin and have some troubles following the setup guide. When I reach the step where I am supposed to find KicadLibraryPlugin I find Kicad Library Endpoint instead:

In here I don't quite find the right options to proceed with the setup. However, I do find the section here that talks a little about kicad-library-list, for which I get lead to a JSON formatted text file:

I am fairly certain I restarted the container and migrated it correctly, albeit there is naturally room for error.

For reference:

I run inventree_kicad version 1.3.15

Hi Jacob,You did everything needed to install the plugin so that's done!

Next step is to head to the admin panel and add some categories you'd like to see in KiCad.

The URLs you see under settings are a standard display which comes from InvenTree; you can just ignore those ones.

I'll wirk on the instructions so that there is less confusion.

Please let me know how you go!

Thanks for your quick reply! I can indeed see things in the admin panel, excellent.

Give me a while to follow it through :)

Hey Andre,

It was indeed working, excellent! Now to tweak it, thanks for this tool.

I was wondering, if you're open for merge requests adding new features such as allowing IPN to be visible instead of invisible by default.

afkiwers commented 9 months ago

I am happy to have a look at that. It just means that I need to find a way to implement that without adding more switches.

Feel free to add an FR issue

Excellent, but in regards to pull requests (forgot we're on GitHub), I also referred to user requests :)
