[geeklog-devel] admin/configuration.php

[Aaron Blankstein]

I'm going to document the process for plugins to end up in the database
soon, but the basic way that it works is that the create() method adds the
plugin to a list of managed configurations. So, if a plugin was using the
config class create() would be called before the page was loaded (somewhere
in the plugin code.) The get_ui() function then uses that list to create the
first row of tabs at the top. So, to get to the configuration page for
Calendar, there would be a tab that the admin would click and would post the
'conf_group' variable.
