I notice some of the standard BT plugins have .php files so i assumed it was OK? Thanks Steve Title Comments I have just tried to upload a plugin package i have been working on and it says ".PHP files cannot be in the package" is there any way around this? the .PHP files are needed for my plugin.

If you see a plugin that still has .php files, then it has not been updated for BT 3.0. All new plugins need to use html instead of php. Comments Hi Steve.

It seems odd that he wouldn't update his own plugins for v3. Am I missing something?

Big security risk. David let us do it before because he personally vetted each plugin. But vetting is a big time suck. Now we use javascript instead of php for the plugins.

For me, the plugins show that they still use php, therefore will not upload. Seems odd.

Bonzo Apple Fan Posts: 783 Reg: Jan 30, 2012 Basingstoke 13,530	12/28/13 05:22 AM (11 years ago) I'm trying to do the same with the interactive quiz plugin which has quite a few phP files which are obviously created by the BT team. I can upload via FTP ok although I haven't downloaded via 3.0 yet.
