SID-02232: How do you remove a Plugin you installed

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:	5.10.1
Category:	CalendarPlugin	Server OS:	AIX 7.1	Last update:	9 years ago

I added in the CalendarPlugin, but we never use it so I would like to remove it. Is it as simple as deleting the CalendarPlugin page and it’s listing on the InstalledPlugins page? I don’t mind if the old perl modules are still installed. I just don’t won’t the Twiki to try and load the CalendarPlugin or any of it's dependencies when it starts.

Discussion and Answer

There is no uninstall for plugins, but you could simply disable the plugin in configure.

Thanks, I disabled it from configure per your answer, but when I go back into configure the CalendarPlugin is still there as an option to enable since it states: "The plugins listed below were discovered by searching the @INC path for modules that match the TWiki standard e.g. TWiki/Plugins/MyPlugin.pm."

How can I remove it from the @INC path so somebody won't install it by accident again?

Delete these files below your TWiki root:

data/TWiki/CalendarPlugin.txt*
data/TWiki/VarCALENDAR.txt*
lib/TWiki/Plugins/CalendarPlugin.pm
pub/TWiki/CalendarPlugin/exclam.gif
