Hi. i was in the process of creating a plugin, following the step by step method of the video-tutorial "Making Websites with october CMS".

I wanted to add a new controller but it displayed this message : "Settings of this plugin cannot be edited by Builder".

So I checked with an already existing and functional plugin and, same error.

And I get the exact same error when I click on Permissions or on Backend Menu, whereas the other tabs are working fine.

Did someone meet this problem before?

Got the answer : the "ADD" button doesn't really add a controller. For it to work, I needed to do the command " php artisan create:controller" : it creates the file (with wrong CHMOD permissions...), then I can access them from the Builder.

The same problem I face but found the answer. you have to create "plugin.yaml" in your plugin to have access to Permissions or on Backend Menu of the Builder. :)

plugin:

    name: 'plugin.name'

    description: 'plugin.description'

    author: name

    icon: icon

    homepage: ''

Builder plugin was coded to not allow direct editing of PHP files. That is why you can not edit certain parts of your plugin with Builder.

The builder plugin isn't exactly "ALL YOU NEED" for plugin development. Ever so often, you will need to dig deep into the code yourself. And you will need to set sudo chmod -R 777 YourOctoberApp for all to work well more often than not.

This is the correct solution

<pre> <code> plugin:<br /> name: 'plugin.name'<br /> description: 'plugin.description'<br /> author: name<br /> icon: icon<br /> homepage: ''<br /> </code></pre>

Thanks a lot
