- Contributing a plugin
- =====================
- Details regarding how to write a plugin are explained in the Pelican `docs`_.
- If you want to contribute, **please be sure** to read our general contributing
- `guidelines`_ first. Then you can fork this repository, create a new branch,
- make your changes, squash your commits, and issue your pull request from your
- new branch (i.e., **not** the ``master`` branch).
- Make sure that your plugin follows the structure below::
- my_plugin
- ├── __init__.py
- ├── my_plugin.py
- ├── test_my_plugin.py
- └── ReadMe.rst / ReadMe.md
- ``my_plugin.py`` is the actual plugin implementation. Include a brief
- explanation of what the plugin does as a module docstring. Put any further
- explanations and usage details into the ``ReadMe`` file.
- ``__init__.py`` should contain a single line with ``from .my_plugin import *``.
- Place tests for your plugin in the same folder inside ``test_my_plugin.py``.
- If you need content or templates in your tests, you can use the main
- ``test_data`` folder for that purpose.
- **Note:** Each plugin can contain a LICENSE file stating the license it's
- released under. If there is an absence of LICENSE then it defaults to the
- *GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3*. Please refer to the ``LICENSE``
- file for the full text of the license.
- Before making your initial commit, please be sure to add an entry to the repo's
- top-level ``ReadMe`` file, adding your plugin to the list (in alphabetical
- order) and providing a brief description.
