Add Plugins

This project is no longer supported.

Do you ever find yourself creating a custom utility module just for adding your own custom ctools plugins (such as layouts or content types)? Ever find yourself using the same custom layouts on every site, or wanting to quickly add in some panels content types on a new site without having to manually go and create a module all over again?

This module helps with your efficiency (and sanity) by looking for and adding plugins from a plugins folder conveniently placed in the normal locations - parallel to the themes, modules & libraries folders. From there, it will follow the $plugin_type variable and look for the name of each plugin within that folder. For example:

• /sites/all/plugins/content_types
• /sites/example.com/plugins/layouts

If it finds a plugin there, it will make Drupal aware of it as if you had just manually added it yourself. No more need to add layouts in each theme that needs them or ctools content types in their own standalone module.
