Hi, I'm just trying to setup a private plugin sourced from a Bitbucket repo. The docs say to add the user octoberapp to the account for access, however Bitbucket has a new security provision that requires an email address of the user that is being added. Is there an email address we can use? Or is a fix for this in the pipeline?

I have having the same issue. What is the email address of the octoberapp user so I can add them? Or is there a new process to follow for a private plugin? Did you get around it some how?

I have a same problem, a cant to add private plugins and theme. I add octoberapp user and create composer.json on plugin root like this: https://octobercms.com/docs/help/publishing-packages

and if I try to add a private plugin to the project, I become this message: Unable to parse package, please check that the repository contains a valid composer.json file. Read the Extras / Publishing Packages documentation for more details.

This is my Plugin composer.json

{
  "name": "rms/vsi-plugin",
  "type": "october-plugin",
  "description": "Plugin for VSI Project",
  "require": {
    "composer/installers": "~1.0"
  },
  "authors": [
    {
      "name": "**",
      "email": "**@**.de"
    }
  ],
  "extra": {
    "installer-name": "vsi"
  },
  "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Hey there,

Try using the https:// bitbucket git address and be sure to add your bitbucket Credentials in the account area.

Alternatively, you can put your username and app password in the URL. For example

https://username:app_password@bitbucket.org/rms/vsi-plugin.git

This should help

That helped, thanks.

Another question to finish it off completely.

How can I remove private plugins again?

I can't add my private plugin to the project now. When I try to add Rms.Vsi with the code it tells me it can't find.

Please contact hello@octobercms.com with this issue so we can look at your account

Bellow are steps to add a private plugin to a project in Account: ​

• ​On the plugin Settings page go to the Access tab.
• Click Generate new code.
• Copy the new code to the clipboard.
• On the Project page - click Add private plugin.
• Paste the copied code and click Add.

I hope, this helps.

Hi, I can't find the "Access tab" in the plugin settings. And I can't find a button or function to generate a "new code" on the page either.

Hello support65166,

Sorry, you mentioned a private plugin and this made me think you're talking about our Private Plugins & Themes service.

If you're using October CMS 2.0+, you don't need to create a plugin in October CMS Account. You can add the plugin directly to your project using Composer.

Private Plugins & Themes is a paid service that we were offering before switching to the Composer workflow. It allows developers to use our gateway to host private plugins and add them to October CMS projects. The same can now be done with Composer for free.
