Plugin Repository

experimental

The DokuWiki plugins are now managed through it's own plugin here at www.dokuwiki.org. This repository plugin is still in a early stage and might not be optimal.

New plugins now need to have a descriptional page in the plugin namespace here in the Wiki containing a block like this at the start:

---- plugin ----
description: Just an example to prove the point
author     : Joe Blow
email      : joe@example.come
type       : syntax, action
lastupdate : 2007-12-17
compatible : devel > 2007-10-06
depends    : 
conflicts  : sample
similar    : 
tags       : example, sample
----

The info is stored in a database and used to build a dynamic repository browser (at plugins).

About the fields:

• description – should be a short description of what the plugin does
• author – the plugin's main author
• email – email address of the plugin's main author
• type – One or more of the plugin types (syntax, action, admin, helper, render)
• lastupdate – The date when the newest version of the plugin was provided in YYYY-MM-DD format
• compatible – give the DokuWiki version(s) your plugin is compatible to
• depends – comma separated list of plugin dependencies if any
• conflicts – comma separated list of plugins which conflict your plugin
• similar – comma separated list of plugins with a similar task
• tags – categorize your plugin here
• securityissue – only add this field when there is a security problem with the plugin. enter a short description here and inform the author.

A plugin similar to this one but with more flexibility is now available. It's called the data plugin.
