PluginManager
PhpWiki lets you extend it with new functionality via a plugin
mechanism. In short, you extend a PHP class we provide and customize
it to print out the content you want. For more information see
Help:WikiPlugin, Help:HelloWorldPlugin, and view the source of the files in
lib/plugin.
If there is no example page for the plugin, or you need more information, the best place to go is the source of the plugin. Under your wiki's root directory, the folder lib/plugin contains all the PHP files for the plugins.
