Making a new plugin mini-HOWTO
From Elgg Documentation
1. Create a folder for your plugin inside the /mod folder. The name of this folder will be your plugin name. Example /mod/my_plugin
2. Create a lib.php folder inside the plugin folder.
3. Your library must contain a function called my_plugin_pagesetup. This function will be called by elgg as each page is loaded. Here is an empty function shell:
<?php
// Sample lib.php for a plugin
function my_plugin_pagesetup() {
global $CFG; // You may want this to access global configuration values
global $PAGE; // You may want this to modify the current page
// your code goes here
}
?>
4. Optionally, your library can also contain a function called my_plugin_init. This function is called once when a user enters elgg, and can be used for global changes to the elgg environment.
5. Take a look at /mod/README.txt for more details.
