Plugins Tab. 16.7 250 �� look at the page http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins every once in a while 3 . As you can see, there are two types of add-ons found there. Generally, add-ons are independent from the existing functionality, and are executed as independent scripts or small programs. Plugins, on the other hand, expand the possibilities of existing scripts by enabling additional TWiki formatting elements, for example. In Tab. 16.7, we have included a list of especially useful and interesting plugins, to give you an overview of what they can accomplish. To find a plugin at twiki.org, you have to add “plugin” to every name: Name Function Calendar Display of a calendar and appointments. ActionTracker Task planner for a project group. Database Database access from TWiki. TWikiDraw Cooperative generation and editing of drawings (requires Java). SpreadSheet Spreadsheet in TWiki. SlideShow Generate and display presentations. Toc Table of contents of TWiki webs. Pdf Generates a PDF document from a TWiki page. Comment Add comments to a page without having to edit it first. Peer Enables pages to be evaluated. Poll Conduct a poll in TWiki. ProjectPlanner Manage time and scheduling plans for projects. SectionalEdit Targeted editing of sections (see MediaWiki). Session Session-based authentication to circumvent the browser's mechanism. So just how are these plugins accessed? In principle, they simply add new variables to the existing ones. They are inserted in the topic source text, just like normal TWiki variables. A few are already included in the standard installation, so we can test the concept right away using a concrete object. The list of installed plugins is found on the page TWiki.InstalledPlugins. You should also see the smilies plugin here. Edit any page, and add :cool: and :) 3 The plugins discussed in the book can also be found on the CD under /wikis/twiki/plugins. 16 Designing a TWiki
You will see that the characters from the smilies plugin have turned into smilies. You can find a more detailed list of possible graphics in the description page having the name TWiki.SmiliesPlugin. This kind of documentation is issued with every plugin, and we recommend looking at it before using the plugin. Because there is such a wealth of add-on programs for TWiki (currently 135), we cannot discuss all of them here. A few are needed in Section IV, where we will have a closer look at them. However, our primary focus right now is the process of installing new plugins. It is a relatively easy task. On the overview page http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/PluginPackage, you will find the entire list of installable plugins. Each one has its own topic. There, you can find directions for using the plugin, updated tips, and, most importantly, the installation instructions. Generally, you only need to download the archived file attached to the end of the topic and unpack it to the TWiki installation directory. This procedure will automatically copy the files to their correct directories. Cautious webmasters can also unpack the files to a temporary directory. A directory structure will be generated that is analogous to that of the TWiki directory, and you will know which files are to be copied to which directories. Caution: A few plugins must additionally be configured on the file level. To do this, carefully read the corresponding installation instructions. All plugins are activated automatically as soon as they are installed. However, you can prevent a plugin from being activated by adding it to the list of DISABLEDPLUGINS in TWiki.TWikiPreferences. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a universal recipe for the installation of add-ons. Often, they are simple programs that you can either execute from your computer or server. A few of these programs require Java J2EE to be installed on your computer. You can download it at http://java.sun.com. Just follow their installation instructions. We would like to highlight one particular add-on, since it can make working with TWiki much easier. It is the FirefoxExtension- AddOn, which can be found at the URL http://twiki.org/cgibin/view/Plugins/FirefoxExtensionAddOn. If you use Firefox as your browser, this add-on gives you the option of inserting several TWiki formatting commands via a toolbar or context menu. You can install the add-on directly from the page indicated from Firefox. Then you just need to restart the browser, and you should see the Installing Plugins 16.3 Plugins and Add-ons � � � 251 FirefoxExtension
