Plugins

Some features are only interesting for a number of foodcoops (like online payments); and some functionality is independent of the rest of foodsoft, but would be nice to have (like a wiki). These are candidates for foodsoft plugins.

Bundled plugins

• wiki - foodsoft's wiki pages (enabled by default)

External plugins

• mollie - online payment for Dutch banks using iDEAL
• adyen - self-service online payment, as well as PIN payment using Adyen app and shuttle
• signup - allow prospective members to signup for an account, which needs to be approved to become a full member
• userinfo - Simple component to use foodsoft authentication in other systems (phpBB provided).

Plugins in development

• messages - foodsoft's messaging system (will be enabled by default)
• vokomokum - integration with Vokomokum accounts and finances
• current_orders - New screens working on all orders that are closed but not settled.

Installing a plugin

• Add the plugin to your Gemfile

  gem 'foodsoft_sayhi', path: 'path/to/foodsoft_sayhi'
  

• Run bundle install to make sure new dependencies are installed
• Import database migrations: rake railties:install:migrations (RoR guide)
• Run database migrations: rake db:migrate
• Review the plugin's README, you may want to add foodcoop configuration options.

Updating

When you've updated a foodsoft plugin, you need to run the following commands:

• bundle install
• rake railties:install:migrations (extra step for plugins)
• rake db:migrate
• in production, with plugins using deface, you may want to precompile templates for performance

Creating a new plugin

This is explained in Plugin development.
