%STARTINCLUDE% ---+ TWiki Contribs _Reusable code that may be used over several plugins and add-ons._ %TOC% ---++ Overview TWiki contribs extend the functionality of TWiki, typically used by plugins and add-ons. They may also provide alternative implementations for sections of the TWiki core e.g. user management, or when an extension just can't be implemented as a plugin because it requires very close access to TWiki internals. __Relevant links on TWiki.org:__ * TWiki:Plugins.ContribPackage - list of all contributed contrib packages * TWiki:Plugins.ContribDevelopment - discussion and feedback on contributed packages * TWiki:Plugins.ContribBrainstorming - open forum for new contrib ideas * TWiki:Plugins.ContribPackageHowTo - instructions and template to create a new contrib package __See other types of extensions:__ TWikiAddOns, TWikiPlugins, TWikiSkins ---++ TWiki Contribs Installed on this TWiki %SEARCH{ "Contrib" scope="topic" topic="*Contrib" nosearch="on" format=" * <b>[[$topic]]</b>: <nop>$pattern(.*?\*\sSet\sSHORTDESCRIPTION\s\=([^\n\r]*).*) <span style=\"color: gray\">- version $pattern(.*?Version\:?\s*\|([^\n\r\|]*)\|.*)</span> <br /> <span style=\"color: gray; font-size: 80%\"> Author: $pattern(.*?\sAuthors?:\s*\|\s*(.*?)\s*\|.*) - last modified: r$rev - [[%SCRIPTURL{rdiff}%/$web/$topic][$date]] - $wikiusername </span>" }% ---++ Installing Contribs * Download an add-on from TWiki:Plugins.ContribPackage. * Follow the installation instructions in the contrib topic. ---++ Creating new Contribs * Visit TWiki:Plugins.ContribPackageHowTo and follow the instructions. %STOPINCLUDE% __Related Topics:__ DeveloperDocumentationCategory, AdminDocumentationCategory, TWiki:TWiki.TWikiPluginsSupplement -- __Contributors:__ TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny
