Whiteboard

Develop: Have good documentation on how to develop plugin and decide what/where/how hooks should be implemented and document those in the AuthPuppy API wiki. WIKI IS CONSISTENT WITH CODE

Install: The plugin management interface should list all available plugins from a given source with their latest version. Clicking them should download them and make them available to activation. DONE

Activate: plugin management interface with checkboxes to enable/disable DONE

Configure: Clicking the plugin name in the plugin management system should bring up the interface to configure the plugin (if configuration is necessary of course) DONE

Update: If a new version of the plugin is available, it should be possible to easily download the new code and migrate the database if necessary. DONE

Access: If the plugin provides new menu options, then these should appear in the menu and the user access it if he has the privileges. DONE

Use: Plugins should be able to hook at different points (events?) in the execution of the page. Those hook points should be documented with the details of the values that are passed to it. DONE
