## Features

- All plugins, installed and available are now sorted alphabetically
- Add `Back to Top` and `Bottom` buttons for easier screen navigation with smooth scrolling effect

- `'template:plugin:sidebar'` is located in the plugins menu sidebar
- Fully translatable
- Clean coded icons without images for faster page load times
- Direct link to [ContentCleaner](https://github.com/aljawaid/ContentCleaner) and [KanboardSupport](https://github.com/aljawaid/KanboardSupport) from the PluginManager sidebar

**Plugin Manager**
- Installed Plugins
- Renamed as **`Plugin Manager`**
- Show installed plugin count
- Show total count for plugins with updates
- Filter plugins by those requiring updates
- Fixed table headers for easier page navigation
- Use the user friendly search filter to quickly find installed plugins
- Hover over the input box to focus without clicking
- Show a notification icon if the plugin has database changes
- Show a notification icon if the plugin has a published homepage
- Show the Kanboard compatible version set by the plugin
- Show a direct link to the plugin readme file if hosted on GitHub, GitLab, Gitea or Codeberg.
- Show the plugin installation date

**Plugin Directory**
- NEW: Show a plugin structure for all plugins
- Each plugin shows informative icons if it has any database changes, contains template or model overrides, or uses any hooks.
- Show when each plugin was last updated using _Time Ago_ relative dates
- Display a relative date with the exact date shown in tooltip (toggles to the exact date when clicked)
- _The plugin structure is compiled for each plugin using properties extracted from the Kanboard Plugins Directory_
- Show a directory source e.g. 'official' or 'custom' including the URL of the source
- Show external weblink for official directory
- Show the available plugins count based on your configuration
- Show the current application version
- Show a direct link for each plugin's readme file
- Show plugin totals by type
- Use the user friendly search filter for quickly finding available plugins
- Click on each type to dynamically filter all plugins including those with updates
- Hover over the input box to focus without clicking
- Highlight the last updated dates to reflect the development activity of a plugin
- Show direct links to installed plugins

**Manual Plugins**
- Manually install plugins in `.zip` archive files from local or remote locations
- Manual plugins are part or completely functional plugins but not suitable for general Kanboard installation
- Show a list of plugins which can be manually downloaded and installed based on data from the Plugin Directory
- Developers can list their plugins in the normal directory but if they set `remote_install` to `false`, the plugin will appear on the manual plugin page with a download link (no install). Kanboard by default, currently completely ignores such plugins.
- These plugins only show in PluginManager

**Plugin Info**
- A dedicated section detailing the breakdown of a plugin with valuable information about core components of a Kanboard plugin
- Details explaining the plugin structure as displayed in the _Plugin Directory_ and _Plugin Manager_ sections

**Plugin Problems**
- A dedicated section listing common issues with plugins and how to resolve them
- Integration with [KanboardSupport](https://github.com/aljawaid/KanboardSupport) to display technical information
- Useful links to further troubleshoot plugin issues all in one place
