Serendipity Forums

When you install a new sidebar plugin, it puts you back on the configure plugins page. But, the url for this page is actually the link to add the plugin.

Example:
/serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=plugins&serendipity[pluginPath]=serendipity_event_templatechooser&serendipity[install_plugin]=serendipity_event_templatechooser

Instead of:

/serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=plugins

If you refresh on the former, it will install the plugin a second time (not intended for event plugins I don't think). I did this by accident and sucessfully installed the trackback plugin twice. Oops.

Well, we have lots of places where using the "REFRESH" button would create double actions. Users should always be aware of this?

We need that URL redirection because some plugins offer a configuration screen after being installed - and that can only be detected after the plugin has been inserted and not before. Well, it could be detected earlier, but that would require quite a bit of code introspection and IMHO does not "pay off".

I'll see if we can implement a second redirection after a plugin has been inserted without config options...

Okay, I've just patched the second redirection into the plugin.
