Developer Area/Plugins/Third party
From Mahara Wiki
< Developer Area | Plugins
A list of the third-party plugins within Mahara.
A helpful way to update this list is to go:
find ./htdocs -type f -iname "README.Mahara" -exec grep 'Version' -B1 {} \; -print
... on the current codebase.
Note: another thing to keep in sync is the country names we use for 'Country' dropdowns. To check what the current state of play is
perl -MLocale::Country -le 'print join("\n", sort map { country2code($_) . " => " . country2code($_, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3) . ", // " . $_ } all_country_names())'
and check the results against htdocs/lib/country.php and htdocs/lang/en.utf8/mahara.php files
