Plugin manager #73

Open jlap opened 10 years ago

jlap commented 10 years ago

The current way to manage plugins is to add or delete plugins from the plugins folder. Whilst this works well, I'd rather check or uncheck them in a friendly interface.

It really shouldn't be a lot of work but it would be a great improvement.

This would allow the adding of hooks for installing and uninstalling plugins. That is more and more necessary.

Example, mapcache plugin ( #75 ) needs a new table in the database. Every time it is called, it tries to create the table if it doesn't exist. There is no way currently to remove that table afterwards.

A simple plugin management system would help a lot for this kind of problems.
