Addons for Friendica
====================
This repository is a collection of plugins for the [Friendica Social Communications Server](https://github.com/friendica/friendica).
You can add these plugins to the /addon directory of your Friendica installation
do extend the functionality of your node.
After uploading the addons to your server, you need to activate the desired addons
in the Admin panel. Addons not activated have no effect on your node.
You can find more addons in the [Friendica Addon listing](https://addons.friendo.ca)
in cases the addon developers have choosen not to include them here.
Connectors
----------
Among these plugins there are also the [connectors](https://github.com/friendica/friendica/blob/master/doc/Connectors.md) for various other networks
(e.g. Twitter, pump.io, Google+) that are needed for communication when the
protocoll is not supported by Friendica core (DFRN, OStatus and Diaspora).
For communication with contacts in networks supporting those (e.g. GNU social,
Diaspora and red#matrix) you just need to access the page configuration in the
Admin panel and enable them. For networks where communication is only possible
the API access to a remote account, you need to activate the fitting connectors.
Development
-----------
The addon interface of Friendica is very flexible and powerful, so if you are
missing functionality, your chances are high it may be added with an addon.
See the [documentation](https://github.com/friendica/friendica/blob/master/doc/Plugins.md) for more informations on the plugin development.
