Empty TWiki Plugin

Empty Plugin used as a template for new plugins

Introduction

This is an empty plugin. Use it as a template to build your own TWikiPlugins. This plugin does nothing, but is ready to be used.

To create your own plugin:

  • Copy file lib/TWiki/Plugins/EmptyPlugin.pm to <name>Plugin.pm and customize the plugin. Add your own code; remove all handlers you do not plan to use.
  • Create a <name>Plugin documentation topic in the TWiki web. Do so by visiting http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/PluginPackageHowTo and starting a new topic to get the default plugin topic text (don't save the topic). Customize your plugin topic to your needs.
  • See details in TWikiPlugins.

Syntax Rules
