## Developer API
The plugin system let you:
- * insert content into specific places across templates.
- * alter data before templates rendering.
- * alter data before saving new links.

### How can I create a plugin for Shaarli?
First, chose a plugin name, such as `demo_plugin`.
-Under `plugin` folder, create a folder named with your plugin name. Then create a <plugin_name>.php file in that folder.
+Under `plugin` folder, create a folder named with your plugin name. Then create a <plugin_name>.meta file and a <plugin_name>.php file in that folder.
You should have the following tree view:
| index.php
| plugins/
|---| demo_plugin/
+| |---| demo_plugin.meta
| |---| demo_plugin.php
```
### Plugin initialization
-At the beginning of Shaarli execution, all enabled plugins are loaded. At this point, the plugin system looks for an `init()` function to execute and run it if it exists. This function must be named this way, and takes the `ConfigManager` as parameter.
+At the beginning of Shaarli execution, all enabled plugins are loaded. At this point, the plugin system looks for an `init()` function in the <plugin_name>.php to execute and run it if it exists. This function must be named this way, and takes the `ConfigManager` as parameter.
<plugin_name>_init($conf)
This function can be used to create initial data, load default settings, etc. But also to set *plugin errors*. If the initialization function returns an array of strings, they will be understand as errors, and displayed in the header to logged in users.
+The plugin system also looks for a `description` variable in the <plugin_name>.meta file, to be displayed in the plugin administration page.
+
+ description="The plugin does this and that."

### Understanding hooks
A plugin is a set of functions. Each function will be triggered by the plugin system at certain point in Shaarli execution.
Parameters:
- - data: see [$data section](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/wiki/Plugin-System#plugins-data)
- - conf: the `ConfigManager` instance.

Each file contain two keys:
- * `description`: plugin description
- * `parameters`: user parameter names, separated by a `;`.
-
* `parameter.<PARAMETER_NAME>`: add a text description the specified parameter.

+`$data` input contains the `$_POST` array.
+
+So if the plugin has a parameter called `MYPLUGIN_PARAMETER`,
+the array will contain an entry with `MYPLUGIN_PARAMETER` as a key.

## Guide for template designer
Aside from classic RainTPL loops, plugins order is handle by JavaScript. You can just include `plugin_admin.js`, only if:
- * you're using a table.
- * you call orderUp() and orderUp() onclick on arrows.
- * you add data-line and data-order to your rows.
+- you're using a table.
+- you call orderUp() and orderUp() onclick on arrows.
+- you add data-line and data-order to your rows.
Otherwise, you can use your own JS as long as this field is send by the form:
### Placeholder system
-In order to make plugins work with every custom themes, you need to add variable placeholder in your templates.
+In order to make plugins work with every custom themes, you need to add variable placeholder in your templates.
It's a RainTPL loop like this:
At the end of file, before clearing floating blocks:
- {if="!empty($plugin_errors) && isLoggedIn()"}
+ {if="!empty($plugin_errors) && $is_logged_in"}
<ul class="errors">
{loop="plugin_errors"}
<li>{$value}</li>
