Plugins

[mart-e]

Hello,

Is there plans to have some kind of plugins and theming mechanism ?
I know the idea of pump is to keep the core minimal and rely on external services to do stuff such as RSS, bridges & co but there is still things you will not be able to do as an external services.

For instance look at request #547, it shouldn't be in the core but still interesting. Same for the additions that jpope made (eg: this one) with no other choices than maintaining of fork of pump for theming and minor additions.

Also the problem of external services is that it works only per user vs per instance for theme and plugins (I think that both cases are useful).

Thanks

Evan mentioned the possibility of having a ./local directory where overrides (such as themes) could be dropped.

This may work indeed. Would you be able to do some more complex stuff in it ? For instance I was thinking of an auto-refresh plugin like you have in StatusNet (or Twitter).

Also if we add this kind of mechanism, we need to have something easy enough to share theses additions between each other. For instance put your changes in ./local/my-changes/templates/layout.utml to be able to share only the my-changes/ directory. Of course, the problem would them be how to manage conflicts...

The web interface already has auto-refresh.

Ok my bad for autorefresh :)

There's rudimentary support for plugins in 0.3.x. I'm really dubious about them; I wouldn't count on continued support.
