This checklist states core integration's that the Oxwall community see's as providing a Gold Standard Quality of plugin development.

Obviously plugins vary in functionality - and some of the following list might not apply to all plugins.

I will suggest that plugin developers who meet these standards, or can explain why a particular integration standard does not apply to their plugin can:

....then display in it's description that it meets the 'Community - Plugin Integration Gold Standards' - with a link back to this thread, so potential customers can check for themselves.



1. Newsfeed integration - The plugins posts to the oxwall newsfeeds

2. Mail notifications - The plugin sends mail notification of key events to users. Users can choose to receive, or not, such notifications, via the 'Mail Notifications' panel.

3. Quick Links - The plugin adds an item to the 'Quick Links' widget, on the users dashboard. Linking to the plugin, and displaying a count of items that the user has contributed.

4. Add New - The plugin has a link in the 'Add New' widget, so that users can quickly contribute using the plugin. 

5. Listing Widget - The plugin provides a widget which details the sitewide or user contributed items (as appropriate) the admin can configure and place the widget on the index, dashboard or profile pages, as appropriate.
