hello

If i would like to install plugins! where do i have o extract the zip

file?

You don't. Just add them to your forrest.properties file as describe in the plugin docs on the website [1]


Are the plugins for the seeded pages directory or the installed forrest directory?

All plugins, whether they come from a seeded site or are added later by yourself (via forrest.properties) will automatically be downloaded and installed when you first run Forrest after adding the plugin requirement.



Thanks ross

About the automatic download. i got some problems with it.

What problems do you have with the auto download mechanism? A number of issues have been fixed in 0.8-dev, but you may be experiencing something new.

So what i did i
downloaded some plugins manually form http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/0.7/
and extracted them in my forrest programm folder C:\forrest\build\plugins .
Is that a problem it if i do that manually like that?

Some plugins will work like this, some will not (it all depends on whether there is a compilation stage required during install).

There are instructions on how to correctly install plugins in the plugin docs.
