Hi John,
a plugin with checkbox etc. in the Ushahidi Addons page,
and there is no "Activate" link in the Addons page. I'm
running Ush 2.5 and
I just want to generate a simple "Hello World" message
plugin to test things out.
Also, the instructions on this page make no mention of the
Events class. Methods in the Events class need to be
called in order for a plugin to work right? Maybe you can also recommend what
methods and Classes I need to call from Ushahidi system
files.
Eventually, I want to write a plugin that connects social
media feeds into Ushahidi's map but for now
I'm just starting out and trying to write a simple plugin
that'll generate a simple message (e.g. "Hello World".)
Thanks for any advice.

plugins
Peter,
What do you want your plugin to do.
Also the documentation looks correct to me. Can you be more
specific about the trouble your having? Are you having run
time errors, or are things just not functioning like you
want?
Thanks,

Hi folks,
I'm based in Canada and I'm trying to write Ushahidi
plugins. I specifically need info about what class and
library files are needed to make a plugin work, and
also some examples on how to create a plugin.
I've searched online extensively for info on writing
Ushahidi plugins/Kohana plugins but haven't found any
adequate info
on how to do this. I also followed the documentation at
https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/How+To+Write+A+Plugin
to write a plugin but it doesn't work. This documentation
page also needs
updating or revising because the instructions don't work.
I've also asked Ushahidi developers but haven't heard back
from them. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
