Item499: Multiple plugins fail to install because they call TWiki::Extender::install

Using web install of plugins from nightly build 1360 A number of plugins installers still use TWiki::Extender::install, which causes the install to fail

Probably not exhastive list:

HistoryPlugin. AutoViewTemplatePlugin, BreadCrumbsPlugin, DBCacheContrib, EditChapterPlugin, TreePlugin, PersonalInfoAddOn

ImageGalleryPlugin (see also Item491)

Undefined subroutine &TWiki::Extender::install called at /home/eliot/public_html/foswiki/AutoViewTemplatePlugin_installer line 141.
at /home/eliot/public_html/foswiki/AutoViewTemplatePlugin_installer line 141

Yes I know there are conversion plans, but these plugins need to be excluded from the list offered until their installers work properly, or the missing function is provided. (Can this be done with TWikiCompatibility?)

This is confirmed.

All extensions that are built seem to have an installer with TWiki name space which naturally is plain wrong.

Urgently needs to be fixed and all already uploaded extensions need to get uploaded again

Urgent release blocker.

My conclusion was too fast.

They fail because they are old TWiki name space plugins. I never updated History Plugin even though I updated it.

So the issue is that the installers do not work for TWiki plugins on Foswiki.
