It is very easy to write a DokuWiki plugin. Before writing your own, remember to search for similar plugins among plugins already written and read through security guidelines for plugin authors.

DokuWiki has a flexible plugin API which allows developers to extend its functionality, be it additional syntax modes, custom action modes, new export formats, and a lot more. Depending on the plugin's purpose, a plugin can either consist of one, or more, components of the following plugin types.

At the moment DokuWiki features seven different plugin types.

• Syntax Plugins extend DokuWiki's basic syntax.
• Action Plugins can be used to extend or replace many aspects of DokuWiki's core operations, from saving wikipages to adding new action modes.
• Admin Plugins can provide administration functionality for DokuWiki - these plugins are accessible to superusers and managers via the Admin button.
• Helper Plugins can be used to provide functionality to many other plugins, so each plugin doesn't have to re-implement a certain function over and over again.
• Renderer Plugins allow to create new export modes and to replace the standard DokuWiki XHTML renderer.
• Remote Plugins allow to add webservices to your plugin.
• Auth Plugins add additional authentication backend to the DokuWiki, which could be activated via configuration manager.

A simple plugin like color plugin may only consist of a single file, syntax.php. More advanced plugins consist of several components, for example the structured data plugin have the syntax handling split in “data entry” and “table view” components, an action component for the special edit button attached to every data entry and an admin interface for database maintenance.

There are a number of sources especially for plugin development:

• The plugin file structure gives overview of the naming convention and structure, and where you add JavaScript and CSS stylesheets, relevant for all plugin types
• There are some common plugin functions, available in all plugins types. Adds localisation, configuration and interspection.
• These security guidelines give some deeper understanding of common issues and presents some protection measures.
• Some general plugin programming tips are available, mostly good practices and pointers to handsome tools in DokuWiki.

Plugin Survey is a developers overview of all plugins present in the plugin namespace of www.dokuwiki.org. Data was collected by an automated script 2010-09-05 with some additional manual data download and mining. A total of 697 plugin pages containing 672 plugins was examined and source code for 647 plugins (96%) downloaded and parsed.
