Plugins can be used to add additional features to ikiwiki. The interface is quite flexible, allowing plugins to register [[PreProcessorDirective]]s, hook into [[CGI]] mode, and more. Ikiwiki's backend RCS support is also pluggable, so support for new revision control systems can be added to ikiwiki.

|
There's documentation if you want to [[write]] your own plugins, or you can install and use plugins contributed by others.
|
|
|
|
The ikiwiki package includes some standard plugins that are installed and
|
|
by default. These include [[inline]], [[pagecount]], and [[brokenlinks]], and [[search]]. Of these, [[inline]] is enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
To enable other plugins, use the `--plugin` switch described in [[usage]],
|
|
or the equivalent line in [[ikiwiki.setup]].

## Installing third party plugins
|
|
|
|
Plugins are perl modules and should be installed somewhere in the perl
|
|
module search path. See the @INC list at the end of the output of `perl -V`
|
|
for a list of the directories in that path. All plugins are in the
|
|
IkiWiki::Plugin namespace, so they go in a IkiWiki/Plugin subdirectory
|
|
inside the perl search path. For example, if your perl looks in
|
|
`/usr/local/lib/site_perl` for modules, you can locally install ikiwiki
|
|
plugins to `/usr/local/lib/site_perl/IkiWiki/Plugin`
