[Qgis-user] How to create a local (LAN) plugin repository

[Alexandre Neto]

Hello Gary,

Thank you for your answer. I see that you mention my webserver. But, we
don't have one, and I don't have administration rights for setting one. I
was trying to use the regular paths to both plugin.xml and zip files, but
qgis is not able to read the xml.

I was also tried another approach  putting both xml and zips in a dropbox
folder, and get their public web links. (Using ?dl=1 in the end, one can
make those files downloadable)

In that case I'm able to connect to my repository, but no plugins are
listed.

Thanks,

Alexandre Neto

PS: My xml looks like this:

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<?xml-stylesheet type = "text/xsl" href = "plugins.xsl" ?>
<plugins>
  <pyqgis_plugin name = "AdicionaAccoes" version = "0.1">
    <description> Adiciona accoes </ description>
    <homepage></ homepage>
    <qgis_minimum_version> 1.8 </ qgis_minimum_version>
    <file_name> AdicionaAccoes.zip </ file_name>
    <author_name> Alexandre Neto </ author_name>
    <download_url>
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y73eickb4qqpfic/AdicionaAccoes.zip?dl=1 </
download_url>
  </ Pyqgis_plugin>
</ Plugins>
