TWiki Extensions Repository

Creativity and innovation, from spark to implementation!

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: ActionTrackerPlugin: Track action items, run queries, and notify people of pending action items CalendarPlugin: Show a monthly calendar with highlighted events TWikiDrawPlugin: Java Applet based drawing editor BlackListPlugin: Utility to keep malicious users away from a public TWiki site NatSkin: Much more than a skin! It also brings text highlighting search to your TWiki. 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

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.

• AddOnPackages: List of all contributed add-on scripts
• AddOnPackagesTestedOnLatestRelease: List of all contributed add-on scripts that have been tested on the latest TWiki release
• AddOnDevelopment: Discussion and feedback on contributed add-on scripts
• AddOnBrainstorming: Open forum for new add-on script ideas
• AddOnPackageHowTo: Create an empty add-on topic based on the latest template
• TWikiAddOns: Official add-ons documentation

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.

• PluginPackages: List of all contributed Plugins
• ExtensionsTestedOnTWiki04x00: List of all contributed Plugins that have been tested on the latest TWiki release
• PluginDevelopment: List of all Plugin -Dev topics. Discussion and feedback on contributed Plugins
• PluginBrainstorming: Open forum for new Plugin ideas
• PluginPackageHowTo: Create an empty Plugin topic based on the latest template
• TWikiPlugins: Official Plugin documentation, for installing, using, and developing Plugins
• TWikiFuncDotPm: TWiki core functions that can be used by Plugins
• PluginsAndLicense: Information for users and developer about licensing.

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.

• SkinPackages: List of all contributed skins
• SkinPackagesTestedOnLatestRelease: List of all contributed skins that have been tested on the latest TWiki release
• SkinDevelopment: Discussion and feedback on skins
• SkinBrainstorming: Open forum for new skin ideas
• SkinPackageHowTo: Create an empty skin topic based on the latest template
• TWikiSkins, TWikiTemplates: Official skin documentation
• SkinDeveloperFAQ: so you want to make your own skin? here are some things you need to know

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.

• ContribPackages: Contains a list of all contributed code modules
• ContribDevelopment: Discussion and feedback on code modules
• ContribBrainstorming: Open forum for new code module ideas
• ContribPackageHowTo: Instructions how to create a new code module
