Methods you write then link to from Plugins

These methods are called when someone accesses the site through a URL generated by the pluginAJAXLink(), showFloatingBoxLink() or showRSSLink() PHP functions.

These relate to a specific plugin. Your init() method will be called before each method, and you will have access to the values of your plugin settings.

While they do not display a full page, your module must still have a plugin placed on a page somewhere for them to work.

handlePluginAJAX()

You can write this method to handle any AJAX requests from the link generated by the pluginAJAXLink() function.

showFloatingBox()

This method is similar to the showSlot method, but is intended to let you write code for the contents of a floating box, such as a box generated using the Fancybox library.

showRSS()

Provides you with the means to write RSS for your Plugin.
