Для того чтобы создать в ELGG новый плагин (модуль), первым делом, необходимо создать правильную структуру директорий. Помочь в этом может разработаный Оскаром Кастро (Oscar Castro) простой bash-скрипт

#!/bin/bash 
 #name: pluginSkeleton
 #Author: @Kareste
 #Installation: Put file in mod/
 #usage ./pluginSkeleton 
 if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
 echo "Plugin Name is Missing"
 else
 echo mkdir -p "$1/actions/$1/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/classes/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/graphics/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/js/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/languages/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/lib/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/pages/$1/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/vendors/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/views/default/$1/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/views/default/forms/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/views/default/js/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/views/default/object/$1" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/views/default/plugins/$1/" | bash -x
 echo mkdir -p "$1/views/default/widgets/$1_widget/" | bash -x
 echo touch "$1/start.php" | bash -x
 echo touch "$1/manifest.xml" | bash -x
 echo -e "nntExample ManifestntElggnt1.0ntThis is a simple example of a manifest file.  In this example, there are not screenshots, dependencies, or additional information about the plugin.ntnttelgg_versionntt2011010401ntn" >> "$1/manifest.xml"
