Plugins directory empty on default install #17

Open BDFife opened 10 years ago

BDFife commented 10 years ago

After installing the latest build and setting up a default blog with the command 'douglas-cmd create', I found the 'plugins' directory was empty.

It seems like, after reading the documentation, the code for the default plugins should be located in the plugins directory (paginate, draft_folder, tags, yeararchives, published_date).

The plugins/ directory is just for your plugins. There are a bunch of plugins that come with Douglas and those stay in the Douglas codebase because they get updates and fixes and all that with Douglas. This reduces the pain in maintaining your blog over the long term.

So this is a documentation fix. Which parts of the documentation do you think led you to this conclusion?

In the config.py, there was no mention of "built-in" plugins that I noticed. It's possible I overlooked the mention in the section that specifies enabled plugins and plugin paths.

Also, from plugins.rst: Finding plugins

As of 1.5, Douglas comes with a core set of plugins. Documentation for these plugins is in :ref:part-twohttps://github.com/willkg/douglas/blob/master/docs/plugins.rst#id3 .

It does look like I missed the helpful 'plugins' folder in the docs directory. So, most of what I needed was accessible.
