Version: 1.1.0
Every good plugin deserves a README page! Here is where you can communicate basic (and perhaps critically needed) information to the system administrator that is attempting to install your plugin.
This plugin adds, just as the name implies, zero function to your glFusion CMS, however it is provided as a heavily-commented 'skeleton' upon which you can build a plugin for your glFusion CMS
The zero plugin example code was based upon code taken from several glFusion core plugins which are maintained by Mark R. Evans. My thanks to Mark and his extended team for all of the great suport they have lent to me and other users of the glFusion CMS.
This plugin will install as-is, however it won't do much of anything. To customize this plugin for your own use, extract it, and then start by copying the 'zero' plugin directory to a directory name that is appropriate for your plugin.
Carefully browse all of the files provided to see how things work. I also recommend that you browse the glFusion development documentation, and also become familiar with the glFusion plugin API.
Let's say you're building a plugin to manage recipes, and let's call it the 'Recipe Manager' plugin. You will have to begin by looking for the following strings, which of course have to be edited appropriately:
zero- the base name of the plugin, edit to: 'recipe'ZZ- var/function name 'tag', edit to: 'RM'
Now rename the following files (as a minimum):
/zero.php=>/recipe.php
Now start editing all of the files as needed for your plugin. After you're done, you should be able to install the plugin by zipping the files up into a .zip file (preserve relative directory names of course), and then using the glFusion plugin upload/auto-install function.
Having trouble? Take a look at error.log to see what's going on.
Good luck!
The Zero plugin has the following system requirements:
- PHP 7.4.0 and higher.
- glFusion v2.0.0 or newer
The Zero Plugin uses the glFusion automated plugin installer. Simply upload the distribution using the glFusion plugin installer located in the Plugin Administration page.
The upgrade process is identical to the installation process, simply upload the distribution from the Plugin Administration page.
The Zero Function plugin utilizes the glFusion configuration subsystem. The configurable values have, like the plugin, no actual meaning but are provided as an example
- Widgets Per Page
- Set this to the number of widgets to display per page in the widget list.
- Gadgets Per Page?
- Set this to the number of gadgets to display per page in the widget list.
Well, since the Zero Plugin provides no function, there is no usage information, but this is where you'd put it.
During installation the Zero plugin creates new Features for admin and user access and maps them to the Root and Logged-In Users groups respectively.
To change user access, use the Features or Groups console in Command and Control and remove these feature mappings, and add mappings to other groups as needed.
