I installed the UpdateInfoPlugin and the CalendarPlugin by putting the zip-File in my TWiki Directory and unzipping it. What have I to do next to make it working? It ist still not working. The Plugin is called but it generates no Output, that means nothing appears on the page.

Answer

Add them to the INSTALLEDPLUGINS variable in TWiki.TWikiPreferences. See also the "Currently activated plugins", below that variable, after saving.

Elske should not need to do that - plugins are enabled by default as soon as they are unzipped.

Were you able to solve this problem? I have the same issue. I followed all the install instructions for XpTrackerPlugin, but the test page is not displaying properly. I'm thinking I'm missing a very simple step that "everyone knows" when it's time to install a plugin, like restarting the web server, or executing a file that will know to include XpTrackerPlugin.pm - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did the plugin require you to put the topic into the Plugins web or the TWiki web?

Could be an issue with the plugin itself -- I had similar issue with a plugin now showing up in ACTIVATEDPLUGINS, I edited the perl module so the package name matched the file name, specifically to have the same case for each letter (detailed in XmlXslPluginDev)
