To embed a Wookie widget in a host application you need to install (or create) an appropriate plugin for your host environment. This will provide the bridge between your host platform and the Wookie server. Currently available plugins include:

• Elgg
• Drupal
• LAMSWordpress
• Moodle
• Elgg
• LAMSWordpress

If your environment is not listed above then you need to implement a plugin - don't worry, it's pretty easy, especially if we have a connector framework available for you (see below) and we're here to help.

Before we get into the details lets looks at some key terminology.

...

Wookie provides a connector framework that for many languages. This framework provides most of the code you need to build a plugin . We hope to provide these frameworks in as many languages as possible. for your platform.

If you intend to write a plugin for your favourite host application please check http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wookie/trunk/connector/^{Image Added} for the latest available conenctor code.

Naturally, we with the Wookie developers list about what frameworks and plugins are already available. We would prefer to work together in order to build as large a set of connector frameworks and plugins as possible, so please help us improve and expand this set of connector frameworks.

Viewer
The viewer is the current user who is viewing a widget in the browser. Typically an application uses session information to know who the current user is, and this is used to request a particular widget instance. It is up to the plugin to determine how to identify the viewer; for example the user's real id is one possibility; another is an opaque hashcode using the id.
