More on Dynamic UIs with blojsom plugins
« Dynamic UIs with blojsom plugins | Main | Snowboarding Take Four »In a comment on my previous post about dynamic UIs with blojsom plugins, Jay asks:
Wow, very interesting. So, a plugin can define it's own admin interface that gets plugged into the Web Admin interface? And, on top of that, it can now plug into the blog entry editor?
To answer the first question, yes, a plugin can define it's own admin interface that gets plugged into the web administration interface. This capability has been there for awhile now. Subclassing from WebAdminPlugin, the integration is automatic.
Beyond that, plugins can not only plug directly into the blog entry editor, but any other page in the administration interface. I used the example of the blog entry editing screens because it's going to have the first hooks from various plugins. As long as the right hooks are in place, any page is fair game for plugins now. An example of that could be a plugin which adds properties to the blog properties administration screen.
