For reference (raised by rozzin in IRC): * http://foldoc.org/module * http://foldoc.org/library * http://foldoc.org/plugin As noted by XRevan86, modules are not necessarily non-essential. As we will keep the modules directory in GS root [therefore, near to plugins/], it is evidenced the difference between both. This is a simple yet fundamental structural change. It doesn't change functionality but makes clearer the way we understand GNU social's internals.
The Sample plugin shows best practices for development of GNU social plugins. It adds a "Hello" menu item to the default menu and tracks how many times it has greeted each user. Installation ============ add "addPlugin('Sample');" to the bottom of your config.php Settings ======== none Example ======= addPlugin('Sample');
