Re: [Zim-wiki] Custom plugins installation
Hi Jakub, thank you for the update. Please let me summarize my findings (as a Windows 8.1 64 Bit User) so far: · I downloaded and installed Graphviz for Windows from http://www.graphviz.org : ok · You need to add the Graphviz bin path to the PATH variable, which is mentioned on the download page for Graphviz: ok · Double check with Diagram plugin if Graphviz works: ok · I installed pydot with easy_install.exe: ok · pydot issues: o import pydot does not work, therefore you can’t enable the plugin in Zim o Found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15951748/pydot-and-graphviz-error-couldnt-import-dot-parser-loading-of-dot-files-will o Uninstalled pyparsing and installed older version o import pydot works: ok · When I start your plugin, I get the same Dialog as for the diagrameditor.: ok o Trying to Preview gives following errors: § global name ‘pydot’ is not defined -- somehow the import pydot did not work Did a manual ‘import pydot’ in Python interpreter: ok § Added Import pydot to the import statements: ok · If I’m not mistaken, you need Graphviz as well. Therefore I suggest to change the check_dependencies method slightly like following: @classmethod def check_dependencies(klass): has_dotcmd = Application(dotcmd).tryexec() has_dotmod = True try: import pydot except ImportError: has_dotmod = False return (has_dotmod and has_dotcmd), \ [(pydot, has_dotmod, True), (GraphViz, has_dotcmd, True)] · Finally your plugin worked and looks great! · I found following issue: o If you add a blank line without adding anything (but with a tab), you get an error ‘InvocationException’ -- syntax error in line 10 near ‘[‘ maybe you want to make sure that there is not empty line with a tab Please find attached the modified version.

Juli 2015 00:47 To: Alessandro La Fauci Cc: zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Subject: Re: [Zim-wiki] Custom plugins installation Dear All, I have tried to adjust the plugin and tested on Window 8.1 and Linux Debian (Jessie) with ZIM-Wiki version 0.63 (source) and Python 2.7. There was an issue with the text variable passed and import of pydot module caused that the plugin was not present on the list since it failed on import. The plugin is available from a BUG page https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1472408 as a file (suggested by Murat Güvenhttps://launchpad.net/%7Emurat-gueven), the plugin page has been also updated with a link to the plugin. It was slightly complicated to install the module pydot on Windows machine, but easy_install utility limited the procedure to few lines: Firstly I downloaded the installation script of easy_install from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py and executed with installed python 2.7 compiler. The installation script is described in more details on https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools. Secondly the dydot can be installed by the following command: C:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe pydot With Linux it was simple, the Debian repository provides python-pydot package, which can be installed through command: # apt-get install python-pydot After all the ZIM-Wiki running from code should provide the treemap plugin on the list of plugins and it should be possible to activate it as far as dependencies are fulfilled. Hope this helps.

It seems that the text variable is a string in 0.63 instead of a list in 0.62, therefore I have changed it to split the text with the up to date version of the plugin suitable for ZIM version 0.63. Furthermore the plugin depends on python-pydot package.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Custom plugins installation
Hi NorfCran, I was going to try out your plugin as well, but it does not work if you copy/paste from the wiki page due to wrong indentation as you stated. I must admit that I’m too lazy to correct each line. Or do you have a quick procedure on how to correct wrong indentation? May be you can provide the plugin in the manner I provided my plugins? See this as an example: https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki/Autocompletion-Plugin · First create a Feature request as a bug · then attach the working py file to the bug · Link to the file in the wiki page I was wondering if your plugin could be used to display the relation of pages to each other (not that I have a concrete use case out of it, just out of curiosity how that picture could look like).

Re: [Zim-wiki] Custom plugins installation
Hi Alessandro, Sounds like you installed the plugin correctly. The fact that the .pyc file is created shows that zim tries to load the plugin. However if it does not show up, there may be an error in the plugin that prevents it from loading. Try running zim with zim -D to get debug output and open the preferences window. The error while loading the plugin should show up there.
