Issues with the dependency check during a plugin installation

          Details

          • Testing Instructions:
            Hide
            1. Install a contributed plugin that declares some other plugin as a dependency (I used assignsubmission_helixassign for testing during the development).
            2. At the Plugins check page, make sure there are now two links available: (1) The Install link takes you to the page at the Plugins directory to install or download the required plugin. (2) The Upload link takes you to the page where you can upload the required plugin manually.

            Description

            If a plugin declares dependencies on other plugin, we currently display the other component as a link to the plugins directory that eventually allows to install it. There are two issues with this I am currently facing.

            • If the plugin explicitly declares dependency on a standard plugin (such as mod_forum), we display the link too. But there is no point for that as standard plugins are not available in the directory.
            • There is no easy way to navigate to the admin screen where plugin can be uploaded manually other than directly typing-in that tool URL.
