[edit] Summary

In installing a plugin is straight forward:

• Download the plugin
• Extract the package to the plugins folder
• Go to Control Centre->Plugin Centre
• Please read the installation instructions on the wiki site of the plugin for details on the configuration

[edit] Step-by-step explanation

Once the plugin has been downloaded, unzip the package and upload the contents (while keeping the folder structure) to the plugins/ folder in the root of your LifeType installation. So if you were trying to install the plugin "authimage", the resulting structure should look like this:

LifeType/
  plugins/
    authimage/
       pluginauthimage.class.php
       class/
       locale/
       templates/
       backgrounds/

Once you've uploaded the plugin, log into your LifeType admin page, go to the "Control Centre" and then under the Settings category click on "Plugin Centre". Your plugin should be listed under identifier if it is has been recognized by LifeType. If it doesn't appear automatically, try refreshing the page.

If the plugin does still not appear, the most common cause is that the plugin was not uploaded with the correct folder structure. Remove the folder and upload again.

Some plugins need extra configuration (like modifying some template files) in order to work, and some others need to be activated via a setting in the admin interface. These requirements are not standard (they are up to the plugin designer) and vary from plugin to plugin. It is best to check the plugin page in the Plugins section of this wiki.
