I installed friendsofcake/crud plugin with composer require friendsofcake/crud. composer installed it in vendor directory called friendsofcake. Now i want to load the plugin into my app.doing something like this does work

cake plugin load friendsofcake

I get error `Exception: Plugin friendofcake/crud is could not be found> Is there something I should know about loading composer loaded plugins.

  • Please copy this plugin into the app/Plugin folder. Then try it. – Manmohan May 12 '16 at 05:57
  • I though cakephp plugin-installer took care of installing plugins to the correct directory. Also should I rename the plugin top directory.BTW am using cakephp-3.2 So there is no app/Plugin – Cholthi Paul Ttiopic May 12 '16 at 06:08
  • in cakephp 3, there is plugin folder in src folder . Are you tried with that. Just copy your friendsofcake to src/plugin folder. – Manmohan May 12 '16 at 06:12
  • i tried that too doesn't work. i read cakephp [plugins](http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/plugins.html) installed plugins with composer sh'd work out of box – Cholthi Paul Ttiopic May 12 '16 at 06:16
  • The plugin is called `crud` (respectively `Crud`), not `friendsofcake`! So that load call is wrong. Also whenever receiving errors, please always post the complete, _exact_ error message including the full stacktrace (ideally copied from the logs where it is available in a properly readable fashion)! – ndm May 12 '16 at 10:32
  • @ndm if I change it to `Crud` will it just work. and why did composer install it in `vendor` when composer recognizes `crud` as cakephp-plugin type ? – Cholthi Paul Ttiopic May 12 '16 at 10:42
  • how do you deal with plugin names prefixed with vendor name when installing with composer ? – Cholthi Paul Ttiopic May 12 '16 at 10:44
  • Because that's where 3rd party/non-app specific plugins are ment to be stored. The plugin folder in your app is ment for 1st party plugins that are tied to your application. I would suggest that you have a look at the plugin docs: **http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/plugins.html**, and in case using the proper name solved your problem, it would be better to close/delete the question, as it won't be of much help for future readers. – ndm May 12 '16 at 18:48
