The Metrics Reporter plugin generates collection usage and web metrics reports from the data recorded by the Metrics Recorder plugin.

The Metrics Recorder plugin records an array of site usage and resource access metrics data, to help analyze site or collection usage.  It does not display or otherwise provide any visible interface for the data  -- the Metrics Reporter plugin is required for that purpose.

The Mailman plugin provides support for incorporating user-friendly subscription management for the Mailman electronic mailing list package into a CWIS interface. It integrates the ability to manage subscriptions into the account creation process and the user preferences page.

Caveats

Mailman must be running on the same server as your CWIS site, and some configuration must be performed for CWIS to be able to run mailman commands. See 'plugins/Mailman/README' for detailed instructions.

The Mailer plugin allows a site administrator or collection developer to define one or more templates to be used to generate and send email messages out to users, usually containing resource information.

The Latitude/Longitude Points plugin allows you to specify one or more Point metadata fields to accept input and display in common latitude/longitude format (e.g. 43° 21' 10" N).

Aside from aforementioned functionality, this plugin also provides a good example of how to write your own plugin to dynamically modify metadata values as they're displayed (via the FIELD_DISPLAY_FILTER event).

The Google Maps plugin allows a map window to be quickly added into a custom CWIS interface, drawing the information displayed on the map from Point metadata fields in resource records.

Use

The Google Maps plugin provides a variety of different methods to display geodata.

The Folders plugin allows users to create, manage, annotate, and share groups of resources. A folder can be used to collect favorite resources, "bookmark" interesting resources to look over at a later time, present a list of featured or useful resources, or even for collection administrators to group resources they would like to review.

The Field Redactor plugin allows values for a specified field to be replaced with supplied text when displayed, when user is not logged in.

Use

A common usage scenario for this plugin might be to require users to log in to gain access to the URL for a resource, either because there are additional requirements (e.g. membership) for login or just to gain more information about who is accessing the materials.

The Drupal Login Synchronization plugin shares user accounts between a CWIS installation and a Drupal installation, such that logging into either site automatically logs a user into both.  In addition to enabling the CWIS plugin, a companion Drupal plugin must be installed and enabled on the Drupal site for synchronization to function. Accounts which exist on the CWIS site but are absent on the Drupal site will be created as needed. However, preexisting accounts on the Drupal site (from before the plugin was enabled) are not currently synchronized.

The Developer Support plugin provides several features intended for use during CWIS-related software development:

Variable Monitor - Provides a display of currently active PHP variables intended for use in the HTML file for the current page.

DB Auto-Upgrade - When enabled, this looks for changes to the database version upgrade files and executes the SQL commands in the file when changes are detected.

Error Reporting Level - Provides a way of dynamically setting the current PHP error report level.
