16953,Allow symlinked plugins,scribu,,"There are many scenarios where one would like to have a plugin's folder symlinked to another location.

A couple of these scenarios are described in #13550.

However, when using symlinks, code such as this fails:

{{{plugins_url( 'script.js', __FILE__ );}}}

This happens because {{{__FILE__}}} resolves to the real path, which confuses plugin_basename().

The most simple and most flexible solution is to add a filter to plugin_basename(), leaving individual devs to handle symlinked paths, depending on their environment.",enhancement,assigned,normal,Future Release,Plugins,,normal,,has-patch dev-feedback,yincrash paulschreiber@… boonebgorges@… djpaul@… coenjacobs@… lkraav simon@… junk@… juzzin mitcho@… kenn@… hertzog@… kwisatz info@… kawauso synapticism markus.magnuson@… cklosowski@… mike@… imtiedup@… johnbeales@… beaver6813 jason@… david@… cor@… JeromeC francesco.laffi@… rodrigosprimo@… andyadamscp@…
