====== Plugins ======

Instant Update has basic support for plugins. You can extend functionality of Instant Update with plugins easily, if you know PHP. Plugins are based on [[plugins:hooks|hooks]], to which you can attach your plugin's functions. Also, there are some predefined [[plugins:functions|functions]] you can use from within your plugins to help you work with Instant Update.

Plugins are placed in **manage/plugins/** folder, each plugin in separate folder. Each plugin has main file, named as **//plugin_name//.plugin.php**, which needs to follow some rules which can be seen in [[plugins:example_plugin|example plugin]]. Plugin can contain additional files.
