This is an old revision of the document!
Following what was announced for Piwigo 2.6, the functions trigger_event and trigger_action were deleted. You must use trigger_change and trigger_notify instead.
The fourth parameter of add_event_handler function was used to tell the number of parameters which will be transmitted to the callback. This is no longer used: all parameters given to trigger_change or trigger_notify are always transmitted to all callback.
But the fourth parameter is still used: if a string is given it will be used as a file path included just before the callback (with include_once).
// procedural add_event_handler('init', 'my_init', EVENT_HANDLER_PRIORITY_NEUTRAL, MY_PLUGIN_PATH . 'include/callbacks.php' ); // OOP with static method add_event_handler('init', array('MyClass', 'init'), EVENT_HANDLER_PRIORITY_NEUTRAL, MY_PLUGIN_PATH . 'include/myclass.php' );
If the 4th parameter is anything else than a string it is ignored.
We introduced a new pattern for maintenance of plugins, this uses a PHP class named after your plugin and define in a maintain.class.php file with the following methods:
/** * PLUGINID must be replaced by the directory name of your plugin */ class PLUGINID_maintain extends PluginMaintain { function install($plugin_version, &$errors=array()) { ... } function activate($plugin_version, &$errors=array()) { ... } function update($old_version, $new_version, &$errors=array()) { ... } function deactivate() { ... } function uninstall() { ... } }
The update method can be called outside the automatic update process, for example if plugin files are manually replaced with a newer version, this ensure full support on hosts which block auto-update.
The old file maintain.inc.php is still supported and will never be removed.
conf_update_param function has been enhanced:
conf_update_param('my_key', $my_array, true, create_function('$v', 'return addslashes(json_encode($v));')); // here, $conf['my_key'] == $my_array;
Two utility functions was added: safe_unserialize and safe_json_decode which can be used if you are not sure if the value has already been unserialized or not.

The plugin allow external sources like plugins to start their own tour. Check admin.tpl and the files tour.tpl and config.inc.php of the existing tours to get familiar with the system, but here some explanations:
Take A Tour loads the js and css needed, you just have to provide a config.inc.php and a tpl file and to load the language (it's recommended using the new option force_fallback like load_language('plugin.lang', PHPWG_PLUGINS_PATH .'MyPlugin/', array('force_fallback'⇒'en_UK')); because empty text means that the step will be skiped)
The plugin allows also the customization of the content of existing tours:
With Selectize on search.tpl, we need to know if the theme is rather clear or dark, to load the appropriate CSS file (clear background or dark background). In your themeconf.inc.php, add the “colorscheme”. It can be “dark” or “clear” only. This parameter will be used for other things like colorbox background or guestbook colors… (very useful for plugins)
$themeconf = array( 'name' => 'clear', 'parent' => 'default', 'colorscheme' => 'clear', );
We added an option to disable or enable the website field on comment add form. You must wrap the field in a IF block:
{if $comment_add.SHOW_WEBSITE} ... {/if}
{$THUMB_SRC} template variable is not assigned anymore. Use instead {$current.derivatives.thumb→get_url()}
