Extending Modoboa
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
What is a plugin
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Modoboa tries to be modular. In other words, Modoboa is a collection
|
||||
of different applications that work with each other, sharing the same
|
||||
interface. For now, you can see Modoboa as a placeholder for your
|
||||
plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
In a perfect world, adding a feature to Modoboa results in adding a
|
||||
new plugin. This is currently the case (almost...) and should continue
|
||||
like this.
|
||||
|
||||
The current API is really simple. You have the possibility to:
|
||||
* Create entry points to your plugin inside the GUI,
|
||||
* Modify administration objects (domains, mailboxes, etc.),
|
||||
* Be notified of specific events.
|
||||
|
||||
With that, you can develop pretty advanced applications but we know
|
||||
(Modoboa's team) it is not enough. For example, you can't create a
|
||||
*Contacts* plugin that will work with the *Webmail* one.
|
||||
|
||||
The API needs to be improved and it will be done with future releases
|
||||
so stay tuned :-).

||||
|
||||
How Modoboa and plugins communicate together
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Modoboa plugins are actually Django applications but with an extra file
|
||||
called ``main.py``. This file contains a complete description of the
