<br>
I am trying to write a simple, static plugin that displays a
dropdownbox on the cartoweb GUI, for now it doesn't have to do
anything. I just want to check if I am capable of taking the first
steps in writing plugins.<br>
<br>
I did the following:<br>
<br>
I created the required directories:<br>
<br>
<myProject>/plugins/myplugin<br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><myProject>/plugins/myplugin/client<br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><myProject>/plugins/myplugin/templates<br>
<br>
in client I created a file Clientmyplugin.php<br>
in templates I created a file myplugin.tpl<br>
<br>
In the myplugin.tpl I have the following code:<br>
<br>
<div id="mypluginSelect"><br>
<SELECT NAME="myplugin_select"><br>
<OPTION VALUE=""><br>
<OPTION VALUE="1"> Project 1<br>
<OPTION VALUE="2"> Project 2<br>
<OPTION VALUE="3"> Project 3<br>
</SELECT><br>
</div><br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
As you can see, it is very static.<br>
<br>
In Clientmyplugin.php I have the following code:<br>
<br>
class Clientmyplugin extends ClientPlugin<br>
implements Sessionable, GuiProvider<br>
{<br>
<br>
/* here comes your plugin client class definition */<br>
<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
In the client.ini.in; I added myplugin to the loadplugins= line<br>
<br>
In my customized cartoclient.php I added<br>
<br>
{if $myplugin_active|default:''}<br>
{$myplugin}<br>
{/if}<br>
<br>
As you can see, I just want cartoclient to load the dropdown when it
starts up. <br>
<br>
Problems I run in to:<br>
<br>
- Setting the activation parameter for a plugin in cartoclient.php is
not documented<br>
- A simple method in the client to parse the template to
cartoclient.php is not documented<br>
<br>
Is there anybody that can help me with these simple steps?<br>
