Plugin installation and configuration(Edit)
Installation/Activation/deactivation(Edit)
Plugin installation and activation is done by simply copying the plugin file(s) to the "plugins" directory.
If you want to deactivate some plugin, you have at least three options:
- Delete plugin file.
- Rename them. LionWiki accepts plugins with specific filename - it must start with "wkp_" and end with ".php".
- Deactivate them in Admin plugin, like here.
Plugin configuration(Edit)
Plugins are basically PHP classes with some member variables — some of these member variables are configuration options. So if you want to change e.g. password in Admin plugin, open plugins/wkp_Admin.php in text editor and change $PASSWORD member variable.
Configuration in config.php(Edit)
Plugins configuration explained above has one serious flaw - when you upgrade your installation to newer version of LionWiki, all settings is lost. Since LionWiki 3.1 it is possible to configure plugins in config.php file:
$Admin["PASSWORD"] = sha1("my_password");
So, you take a look at the member variable name in the plugin class and use it as a member of an array named after plugin.
Writing plugins(Edit)
We have special page for this, see How to write a plugin.
