Gajim Plugins
In this place you will find all plugins that are written for Gajim by the community. If you experience any problems with those plugins, please report them here.
How to install plugins
There are several ways to install a plugin:
-
You can browse / download / enable / configure plugins from within Gajim via 'Gajim' > 'Plugins' menu.
-
You can also clone the repository directly from our Git and copy it to:
Linux:
~/.local/share/gajim/plugins/Windows:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Gajim\Plugins -
Alternatively (for developing), you can also symlink the gajim-plugins repository to Gajim's plugin path:
Symlink:
ln -s /path/to/gajim-plugins-repository/* ~/.local/share/gajim/plugins/
For each major Gajim version there is a different plugins branch:
| Version | Plugins branch |
|---|---|
| Gajim master | master branch |
| Gajim 1.2 | 1.2 branch |
| Gajim 1.1 | 1.1 branch |
| Gajim 1.0 | 1.0 branch |
Note: Using master branch for plugins requires frequent updates of both Gajim and plugins!
