Plugin Preference

Using this wiki plugin, introduced in Tiki21, allows you to build your own administration panels.
It is a way to delegate permission to set only certain preferences to non-administrators.
So we could create limited admin panels with just what people need, without giving tiki_p_admin permission by only specifying which preferences will be included in the wiki page.

Parameters

Examples

Basic syntax

{preference name="feature_webdav" currentpage="My-Wiki-Page"}

Once the page is saved, the preference appears there as it would appear in the control panel, so it can be modified.

Users

After changing the values of the name parameter and registering the wiki page (here named My admin panel) by a non-administrator, he will see this:

Wiki page

When the plugin loads, it makes sure that the current page matches the current wiki page's parameter value, which prevents someone from using an approved plugin on another page with different permissions.
