Plugin Development

This page will go through how to create a Plugin for Organizr

This only pertains to Organizr instances on version 2.1.1140 or higher

Folder Structure

Each plugin consists of the following files:

File Name	Description
plugin.php	The file is the PHP Class file that will have all your plugins functions and everything
api.php	This file will contain all the API routes for your plugin
config.php	This file will contain all of your plugins default config values
page.php [OPTIONAL]	This file can hold some html that Organizr can display if you set a Tab in Organizr as Organizr type
main.js	This Javascript file will be included when Organizr loads if your plugin is enabled
settings.js [OPTIONAL]	This Javascript file will be included when Organizr loads the settings page if your plugin is enabled
logo.png	The logo file for your plugin

File Development

plugin.php

<?php
// PLUGIN INFORMATION
$GLOBALS['plugins']['Test'] = [ // Plugin Name
	'name' => 'Test', // Plugin Name
	'author' => 'CauseFX', // Who wrote the plugin
	'category' => 'Testing', // One to Two Word Description
	'link' => '', // Link to plugin info
	'license' => 'personal', // License Type use , for multiple
	'idPrefix' => 'TEST', // html element id prefix (All Uppercase)
	'configPrefix' => 'TEST', // config file prefix for array items without the hypen (All Uppercase)
	'version' => '1.0.1', // SemVer of plugin
	'image' => 'api/plugins/test/logo.png', // 1:1 non transparent image for plugin
	'settings' => true, // does plugin need a settings modal?
	'bind' => true, // use default bind to make settings page - true or false
	'api' => 'api/v2/plugins/test/settings', // api route for settings page (All Lowercase)
	'homepage' => false // Is plugin for use on homepage? true or false
];

class TestPlugin extends Organizr
{
	public function _pluginGetSettings()
	{
		return [
			'Sample Settings' => [
				$this->settingsOption('password-alt', 'TEST-pass-alt',['label' => 'Test Plugin Pass Alt']),
				$this->settingsOption('password', 'TEST-password',['label' => 'Test Plugin Password']),
				$this->settingsOption('text', 'TEST-text',['label' => 'Test Plugin Text'])
			],
			'FYI' => [
				$this->settingsOption('html', 'HTML Note', ['html' => '<span lang="en">This is just a note</span>']),
			]
		];
	}
}

The first thing you will notice is that there is a Global variable set with a plugins array. For this example, our Plugin name is Test.

Also notice on the array we again specify the name of the plugin. Here is a breakdown of the rest of the array keys:

Key	Value Type	Description
author	String	Your name or pseudonym
category	String	Overall type of Plugin
link	String	Link to additional info for plugin, can be blank
license	String	Can be either personal or business. Can also be both just use csv. I.E. personal,business
idPrefix	String	This is used for HTML elements, please use all Uppercase and one word only
configPrefix	String	This is used for config items so they don't clash with other items. Please use all Uppercase and no spaces
version	String	SemVer of your plugin
image	String	Path to your logo
settings	Boolean	Does your plugin need a settings modal
bind	Boolean	Use the default bind to make settings modal
api	String	API Route to settings values
homepage	Boolean	NOT IN USE YET

Now that we have finished setting up your Plugin's Global variable array, we can now continue to creating your Plugin's PHP Class.

If you plan on using some of Organizr built in functions and User information, you will need to extend the Organizr Class. Otherwise, you can just create a new class and that is it.

If you want a settings modal, you will need to create a function to supply which config items you will want to set up for your settings modal. Let's start with creating a function to pass an array with our config items.

First, you need to name your function something, let's call this one _pluginGetSettings, we can also set this function as public if you choose to share those variables with other classes etc...

Next, we will return an array with our Setting's groups. In this example our first Group is called Sample Settings. Inside this Settings group, we will have 3 config items that we want to setup. Each item is setup via the settingsOption function. This function takes 3 parameters.

public function OptionsFunction::settingsOption($type, $name = null, $extras = null) array|string[]

The first option is the type of config item that we are setting up. The second, is the name of the config item. Lastly, we can provide the sometimes-optional extra options needed to set the item up.

Let's take a look at each one.

Config Item Name	Config Type	Extra Options
TEST-pass-alt	password-alt	label
TEST-password	password	label
TEST-text	text	label
N/A	html	html

You can find out all the type of config item options under the options-functions.php file located under Organizr Location/api/functions/ folder.

config.php

<?php
/*
 * Always include PLUGINNAME-enabled
 * Along with all your other settings from plugin.php
 */
return [
	'TEST-enabled' => false,
	'TEST-pass-alt' => '',
	'TEST-password' => '',
	'TEST-text' => ''
];
