Re: [Qgis-user] new python plugin does not show up
[message resent with some changes, because message too big... ] Hi Tara, the good news: you (almost) succeeded. Here is your stuff back (I've upgraded it to version 0.11 :-) http://www.duif.net/qgis/new_layer.zip 1) don't put python plugins in the directory you mentioned: C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS_091\share\qgis\python\plugins\ You are right, that's where the plugin installer is (which is I would say still beta (aka not yet working the way it is supposed to yet). But put your files in a directory new_layer here: C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS_091\python\plugins\new_layer There (after some fixes...) it works!! 2) python is very picky with whitespaces! you will see error messages when you put your old plugin code in the right place ;-) I removed them, or changed them (see new zip) 3) remove the linenumbers in your newlayer.py 4) you're including the python library pscopg (needed for python to interact with Postgresql. Do you have that lib installed in your python installation? I did'nt, and got errormessages, so I changed the version to psycopg2 (a library I do have). You should use/have one of those installed. 5) your button did't show up in the buttonbar, but the plugin shows up in the pluginmanager! This is because the name you define in the resources.qrc should match the name you use for it in your code: /plugins/new_layer/new_layer_icon.png in the qrc file should match the name you use in your code: self.action = QAction(QIcon(:/plugins/new_layer/new_layer_icon.png), After fixing this, it's loading. So I would say, congrat with your first plugin! Read something about python's whitespaces here: http://www.python.org/doc/essays/styleguide.html here http://docs.python.org/ or http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html psycopg or psycopg2 can be downloaded here: http://www.initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/ If you need an even easier plugin to start with, start with this one here: http://blog.qgis.org/?q=node/104 Good luck Richard Duivenvoorde Your plugin more or less fixed, and some screendumps to prove your plugin is loaded (0.9.1 on WinXP), and the code cleaned up a little and 'loadable' (all in the zip) here: http://www.duif.net/qgis/new_layer.zip Richard Duivenvoorde wrote: Hi Tara, where did you put you plugin stuff? which files did you put there?
