| - | [[http://reinawap.com|http://reinawap.com]] | + | <sup>(This is a part of the [[start|plugin survey 2011]])</sup> |
| + | |||
| + | The plugin system was created to make it easy to share and reuse extensions and modification made by the DokuWiki community. Counted from the first DokuWiki release in august 2004 there has been an average of 2.6 new plugins every week! Today there is a wealth of plugins of different kinds. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Plugin repository ===== | ||
| + | How do I find my favourite plugin? It is not an easy task to navigate and choose among 825 plugins. | ||
| + | Powered by [[plugin:repository:manual|repository plugin]], a [[::plugins|plugin list]] is maintained. Unfortunately [[start#not every plugin is a plugin]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Tags === | ||
| + | One of the main search mechanisms for plugins are a tag cloud in the [[:plugins|plugin list]]. Each plugin may have one or more tags attached to the plugin homepage. Two years ago there were 745 different tags. Thanks to a tag cleanup campain, 360 tags were found last year. During this survey 503 different tags where found, 59% of these were only used by a single plugin each. [[plugintag>media]] continues to be the most popular tag with 105 plugins, that is more than 12%. Here are the current top ten: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^Tag ^Plugins ^ | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>media]] |105 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>images]] |82 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>embed]] |78 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>listing]] |56 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>links]] |53 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>users]] |40 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>search]] |38 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>editing]] |34 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>navigation]] |33 | | ||
| + | |[[plugintag>diagram]] |33 | | ||
| + | |||
| + | The [[plugintag>!experimental]] and [[plugintag>formatting]] tag are no longer on top 10 list. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Excluded plugins === | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are also some plugins that are not shown in the plugin list. 12 plugins (2%) are excluded from showing in plugins list for security reasons. All these have problems with XSS vulnerability allowing arbitrary JavaScript insertion. Authors are informed. | ||
| + | * [[plugin:abb]], [[plugin:arguments]], [[plugin:bibtex]], [[plugin:blip]], [[plugin:chord]], [[plugin:emphasis]], [[plugin:exttab2]], [[plugin:google_video]], [[plugin:highlight]], [[plugin:literal_entities]] (new), [[plugin:toplist]], [[plugin:youtubev2]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Gladly we can see that 2 plugins have had their security problems fixed since last year ([[plugin:dir]] & [[plugin:select]]). There are also a new [[plugin:repository:manual#entry_component|securitywarning]] field available in the repository to inform users of inherent security risks with some plugins. For example it is not advisable to have a plugin exposing server folders in a public wiki, but might be handy in a more private installation. So far only 4 plugins use this feature. | ||
| + | * [[plugin:hide]], [[plugin:ifauth]], [[plugin:include]], [[plugin:phpwikify]] | ||
