Basic Information about Plugins

The Chatium platform consists of multiple accounts that are divided into 3 main types:

• User accounts, where they develop their own code; there can be many programs. Chatium.ru/ is also an account on the Chatium platform.
• Developer accounts, which are used for a single piece of code, such as cms and builder. However, you can keep multiple plugins in one space; this is not prohibited.
• The same type of accounts as chatium, but wrapped in a getcourse shell. They have their own additional methods that regular Chatium accounts cannot call outside of this shell.

What is a Plugin?

A plugin can be any code you write, but it needs to be registered as a plugin, more on that later. For example, builder and cms are also plugins.

Features of Plugins

• Your code is not copied to other users' accounts.
  A plugin allows you to run your code in your personal space; it is stored only in your account.
  When you register your code as a plugin and place it in the catalog (app/Store), it does not become public; no one will see your code.

• The entire root folder of your code is considered a plugin.
  Your plugin is called at the address:

  • within Chatium - <account domain>/app/<plugin name>
  • within GetCourse - <account domain>/chtm/app/<plugin name>
    You do not need to register each file separately.
    If different access levels need to be implemented, it is sufficient to specify permissions within the code; in that case, the call will be as follows - Example: /<account domain>/app/<plugin name>/admin

• The plugin works locally.
  The plugin uses only the data available in the developer's space who installed this application. This particularly applies to tables; each will have its own table, but a shared table can also be created, provided this is specified in the code itself.
