So, let’s keep it real. I didn’t have the time to make a video this week. I’ve been doing a lot of graphic design work on Blesta, some awesome stuff you’ll get to see soon. But that doesn’t mean I can’t share something, right?

Plugins. Are. Amazing. Plugins can do a lot, we’ve talked about them before in passing while describing other features. Plugins can register widgets on the Dashboard, on the Billing Overview, on the Client Profile. Plugins can create entirely new pages, with new functionality, with their own nav links. Plugins can register themselves into the ACL. Plugins can create their own email templates. Plugins are mini-applications. Plugins are POWERFUL.

I know people are going to shock us with what they develop for Blesta using the plugin system. I can’t wait to be blown away.

This post is the tip of the tip of the iceburg, we will have a lot more to say about plugins as we get closer to release.

Oh yeah, plugins can be installed, and uninstalled, upgraded and managed. Here’s what the installed plugins window looks like. These are all plugins that will come pre-installed with Blesta (there will be more too, don’t worry). These ones create widgets on the Dashboard.. and since we wrote them, they got slapped with the Blesta logo. Slap your logo on your own plugin!

Maybe a video next week? We’ll see!
