Marco, To answer some of your questions: for a SIMPLE plugin (only some types, a webtop tab, some displayPages): I don't think that you need anything in _serverSpecificVars.cfm I don't think you need a www mapping
I would say a good example of a "minimum" plugin that is still somewhat complex is the idlForm plugin. The GoogleMaps plugin is a good example of using the configuration options available. But essentially you're right: you will have folders that look like your project or core folders: farcry/plugins/<plugin>/ farcry/plugins/<plugin>/customadmin farcry/plugins/<plugin>/packages farcry/plugins/<plugin>/packages/types farcry/plugins/<plugin>/packages/rules farcry/plugins/<plugin>/webskins/<type> farcry/plugins/<plugin>/webskins/<rule> etc. Tomek On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 7:46 AM, Marco van den Oever < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > And what about the _serverSpecificVars.cfm file, do i need that? > > On Sep 26, 12:57 pm, Marco van den Oever <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > What should i do with the install/manifest.cfc, are that general > > setting i can copy from another plugin? > > > > Do i have to include the www map, or only when i need to provide some > > additional files, else just leave it out? > > > > Is there a way to create the plugin with the Export As Project > > Skeleton?
