adding a new plugin

[eko291]

I really want to add the livejournal plugin to my new serendipity install, but I just can't figure out how to do this. I tried uploading the file, but it doesn't show as being able to be added. I created a folder and put the php file in the folder and it displays the source on my plugin administration page, with an error. Would anyone be willing to offer a rundown of how new plugins should be added? Thanks in advance for the help.

Let's say the plugin is called "serendipity_event_livejournal.php". Then you need to create the directory serendipity/plugins/serendipity_event_livejournal/serendipity_event_livejournal.php.

Notice that the basename of the directory and the file themselves are the same.

As soon as you have copied the file there you should be able to go to Plugin Configuration and there add the new plugin to make it active.

It may possibly be that the LiveJournal plugin only works for Serendipity 0.8 - you may need to contact the author of it...

thanks for the info. that is what I did when I got the error on the plugin manager screen. I think you may be right, I will contact the developer and see what he says.
