Plugin Installation Instructions

This is just a demo plugin at present, I'm leaving packaging for someone else (It works perfectly fine however). I thought the source topics was getting silly when writing a plugin is quicker to write/follow than the several week discussion on such a simple idea.

Note: You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this plugin. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the plugin on the server where TWiki is running.

• Download the ZIP file from the Plugin web (see below)
• Unzip UniqueIdPlugin.zip in your twiki installation directory. Content:

  File:	Description:
  data/TWiki/UniqueIdPlugin.txt	Plugin topic
  data/TWiki/UniqueIdPlugin.txt,v	Plugin topic repository
  lib/TWiki/Plugins/UniqueIdPlugin.pm	Plugin Perl module

• Test if the plugin is correctly installed:
  • (describe tests here)
