Trying to install idlForm plugin

[jeffg.kc]

I am working with the release candidate for FarCry 5.
I updated this evening and it went very smoothly.
Thanks to Jeff Coughlin's instructions.
I am following the install instruction and attempting to modify them for the FarCry 5 architecture.

I have modified the following by adding idlForm as described.

farcry\core\tags\farcry\farcryInit.cfm(37): <cfparam name="attributes.plugins" default="farcrycms,idlForm"  />

But I can't get the plugin to appear in the Types list after an updateapp.
Am I doing it wrong or is this plugin not compatible with 5 yet?

are you logged into the webtop when you run the updateapp?

I decided to try to install jcFarcryFlvPlayer since it specifically says there is a version for 5.
I wanted to see if I could get it to work considering my problems trying to load  idlForm.

But the install instructions say to do the following...

"Add jcFarcryFlvPlayer to your plugin list in the farcryinit tag of your project's www/Application.cfm"

I do not find an Application.cfm so I decided that that was a holdover from the 4.x install guide.
So I added it to the following line in \farcry\core\tags\farcry\farcryInit.cfm

<cfparam name="attributes.plugins" default="farcrycms,jcFarcryFlvPlayer"  />

I then followed the rest of the instructions.
But after running updateapp I still do not see anything new in the type and rules in the COAPI manager

The docs also show a plugin menu choice in the content drop down menu.
I don't have this either.

I just don't see what I am doing wrong.
Any assistance on understanding why I can't install plugins would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff G

OK
I have figured out my problems with adding plugins in FarCry 5 and I want to share.

1. Because it might help someone else and
2. Because I feel a little silly/triumphant
   

As I was saying earlier today I could not find the files as listed in the plugin install documentation that were supposed to hold the farcryinit tag.
While preparing to poke myself with a pointed stick I was reading a comment by Matthew Bryant where he referred to "the farcryConstructor.cfm in your projects webroot" so I decided to poke around in there and there it was on line 36...
<cfset THIS.plugins = "farcrycms,farcrygreybox,googlemaps" />
So I got very excited and added the 2 plugins to the list.
Boy was that a bad idea.
It was way too much information for the application to absorb at 1 time durring the refresh.
I crashed the application hard.
After I removed both plugins from the list, reset CF and IIS I was able to get the application to once again load correctly.

I then started over.
First I added jcFarcryFlvPlayer to the list and ran updateapp
Bam I finaly had new stuff in the Types List.
There was much joy.
I was able to deploy the elements with ease.
I then went back and added idlForm to the list and after the refresh it was also available to deploy.

SO
For anyone else out there
never try to add more then 1 plugin at a time
AND
in FC 5 deployed as subfolders the farcryinit tag is in ...
farcryConstructor.cfm in the project webroot.

I am very new to FarCry and I am very impressed with the application and the people in the community.

Thanks for all your help and hard work.
Now I am off to see what new havoc I can cause.
Thanks again,
Jeff G

This was a typo in my docs (from when I had copied it from the FC4  
install instructions).  I've tried to fix it several times over the  
last 3 weeks, but Google Code has been down for quite a long time  
(they won't let me edit the wiki).  I could probably edit the wiki  
files manually and upload them in SVN.... If I can find time this  
week, maybe I will :).

The correct instructions should say to edit your project's www/
farcryConstructor.cfm file and add the plugin to the list of installed  
plugins.
example (add as many plugins as desired):
<cfset this.plugins = "farcrycms,jcFarcryFlvPlayer" />
