plugins broken?

[DaveChappelle]

I can't get any plugins to load/show up on the list except for the examples that Turbine put in.
I've read and reread the directions on every plugin but that didn't help much.
I'm mostly after buffbars/palantir plugins like that :/
I just get...

Available Plugins:
#### CombatQuickslots (1.1)
#### Examples (1.0)
#### TheOneBag (1.0)
#### Vitals (1.0)

And
Unable to load "manager".
and same for the other stuff

I'm probably missing something obvious but I can't see what
Can anyone help please?

Well, if you're not seeing the plugins in the list of available plugins then you have not extracted the files to the correct location. You have a Plugins folder in the path:
"My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins". All plugins go in separate folders under that folder.

When BuffBars is properly extracted, it's path is:
"My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\PengorosPlugins " - the PengorosPlugins folder will contain the BuffBars.plugin file and three subdirectories, "BuffBars", "UI", and "Utils".

Once you have them showing in the list of available plugins, you have to be sure that you have any support files they require. You indicated that you already have the Turbine samples - hopefully you downloaded them since the update last November because they changed a few things which can cause plugins that depend on them to fail to load. Some plugins also depend on libraries that other authors have developed, so if the plugin generates an error like, "Unable to resolve package..." you need to go back to the original download page, re-read any installation instructions and find what file(s) the plugin depends on (many authors include all needed files to avoid this issue).

your folder structure should look something like this:

[-]Plugins/
         [-]DigitalUtopia/
                 [+]DUInterface/
                 [+]Palantir/
                 [+]Utilsx/
                 Palantir.plugin
         [-]PengorosPlugins/
                 [+]BuffBars/
                 [+]UI/
                 [+]Utils/
                 BuffBars.plugin
