TWiki Extensions Repository

Extensions are enhancements to TWiki to create calendars, database access, LDAP connectivity, spreadsheets, visual themes and more.

Highlighted extensions

Short list of extensions that will enhance your TWiki site:
  • BlackListPlugin: Utility to keep malicious users away from a public TWiki site
  • CalendarPlugin: Show a monthly calendar with highlighted events
  • DatabasePlugin: Provide secure read and write access to SQL database, with flexible results formatting
  • TagMePlugin: Tag wiki content collectively to find content by keywords
  • TWikiDrawPlugin: Java Applet based drawing editor

Extensions news

  • Did you know we hit the 200 plugins mark? MikeMarion has contributed EasyTimelinePlugin, a great way to generate timelines on the fly.
  • In the latest TWiki 4 release you have to activate a plugin after installing it, most plugin install instructions do not mention this. This is done with something like http://YourTWikiSite/twiki/bin/configure

Developers

How this repository is organized

This web is dedicated to support of TWikiExtensions: Add-ons, Plugins, Skins and Contributed code. Topics are named as follows:

  • <name><type>: Ready-to-install download package of an extension submitted to TWiki.org
  • <name><type>Dev: Ongoing development of an extension (bug report and fixes, enhancements, ...)
  • <name><type>Appraisal: Appraisal of an extension
  • <name><type>Brainstorming: Brainstorming and development of a new extension
  • Please use the Support web for all non-bug-related problems of an extension

<type> denotes the type of TWiki extension: AddOn, Plugin, Skin or Contrib.


Add-Ons

An add-on runs separately from the TWiki scripts, e.g. for data import, export to static HTML, etc. Add-Ons normally do not call any TWiki code directly, though may invoke TWiki scripts.

Plugins

A Plugin is loaded at run-time by the TWiki scripts on the server (a bit like Netscape Plugins or Java Applets that are loaded by the browser) - it typically provides a new feature within TWiki pages, e.g. spreadsheets, action tracking, editable tables, etc.

Skins

A skin changes the visual appearance of pages, but leaves the contents exactly the same. For example the Printable link at the bottom of every page here on TWiki.org is a skin. A skin package will normally only ship topics and templates, and should not ship any perl code.

Reusable code modules

A ContribPackage module packages reusable code that may be used over several, though not all, plugins and add-ons. Contribs are also used to provide alternative implementations for sections of the TWiki core e.g. user management, or when an extension just can't be implemented as a plugin because it requires very close access to TWiki internals.
