Hi all,
I think this is the right place for this question: I want to create an addon which will produce a string (creating it from a couple of Web services) that I want to display later on a skin; now, the problem is that a) I'm not sure about the correct extension point, b) how should the plugin produce that string, and then c) how to invoke it from the string.
For © I have looked at the confluence skin and how it gets the temperature information in the home widget, and I think it is a property that should be set in the addon, but for (a) and (b) I have no idea, and I cannot find examples... another hypothesis is that I can directly invoke a function of my addon from the skin, and that function will return the string, but again I am not sure at all.
Do you have any pointer to a similar example?
