the plugins folder of a component is never loaded. the component's plugins folder can be empty, since the plugin is always called in the host's context.
so you have two options: 1 install the plugin for both the host and component, during development. use the application build dialog to create a compiled component, which will automatically exclude the plugins folder. 2 install the plugin for the host only. create an alias/shortcut/symlink to the hosts plugin inside the component's plugins folder. whether the alias is transportable or not depends on the type of alias you create. - you can also install the plugin inside the application, but that would break the app signature on mac. besides, in client/server. a plugin installed inside the server app is not transmitted to the client. http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16R4/4D/16-R4/Developing-and-installing-4D-components.200-3330168.en.html > Do I need to copy the plugin from the component's plugin folder to thećhost's? ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
