install and configure plugins

Hello,

I installed deluge (1.3.1) on my Debian box and it basically works. I can access it through the web ui and download torrents. So far so good.

I then wanted to install some plugins (notably the XMPP one). After reading all I could find on that subject I still do not get how to do this.
I tried to install through the webui - I have the .egg file and added it in the plugin config pane. It never appeared in the list of available plugins.
Question 1: Is there something I am missing here? :)

I then tried to find a way to enable the preinstalled plugins. They show up in the list of available plugins but only 'Scheduler' can be enabled. The blocker one is enable but this is not visible in the UI (I know there is a display bug).
Question 2: why the other plugins cannot be enabled?

I though there may be some problems with access rights - the only thing I could think of. All of them are fine (the directories belong to the deluge user)

Finally - I have no idea how to configure the plugins (once they are enabled). So Question 3: is there a unified way (either via the UI or on the config files) to configure the plugins?

Thanks a lot in advance for any pointers

I am not sure about installing via the WebUI as it is not something I have tested.

I can tell you that not all plugins have a webui interface so have to be configured using the gtk-ui interface. Setting up thinclient access to your server is the best way to do this.

UPDATE: I initially wrote I cannot make remote access work. I updated & upgraded my install, rebooted and -miracle- now remote access works :)

Thanks you
