| | Is it possible to convert a plugin or xml file to a tangible set of triggers and aliases that shows up under those tabs? Some of the plugins have the variables of the people who made them, and it makes the triggers and aliases somewhat unrealiable if they only work for the last used variable of that person. | | Top |

| The plugins are supposed to be independant. That is, each plugin has its own variables and shouldn't rely on global variables.
The intention of a plugin is that it sets/uses such variables, triggers, aliases etc. that it needs to accomplish its task. Whatever the author calls them doesn't really matter. And since each has its own ones it doesn't matter if two authors happen to choose the same variable names. |

| The author should 'zero out' his/her plugins before distributing them. Actually... He should zero them out when he's using them as well, the state file should do the rest.
As for things the users need to change, those can be put into entities, for ease of configuration.
If you have variables that you need changed, you can edit the plugin (in any text editor) and reset the variables to whatever values. |
