Initial Configuration
Before writing any code for the plug-in, it is useful to configure the plug-in. There are usually two things
that should be setup right away: the file prefix and the standard attributes. As you develop a plug-in, you
can easily change these settings.
The file prefix defines the location for third-party files such as JavaScript and CSS files. The default
value is
#PLUGIN_PREFIX#
, which references files that are directly attached to the plug-in. When
developing plug-ins, it is usually easier to work on files that you have read/write access to. You can use a
corporate development web server or a local webserver. This example, and all examples in this topic, will
reference a local webserver (covered in Chapter 8). It is assumed that you set the web server's home
directory to
c:\www
.
