Plugins

StatusNet has a plugin architecture which allows new functionality to be easily added.

How To Install a Plugin
You'll need to be running your own installation, with access to the server. It's not available on a StatusNet cloud account (though those with Premium accounts may be able to request a plugin).

See Plugin installation interface for details.

Gallery Plugin
Provides per-user, per-group and public gallery of files (pictures, videos, bookmarks and more) shared and uploaded by users (screenshot). Checkout the gitorious repository, read the readme and bug g0.

Autocomplete
Autocomplete allows users to autocomplete screen names in @ replies. When an "@" is typed into the notice text area, an autocomplete box is displayed populated with the user's friends' screen names. For setup instructions, see plugins/Autocomplete/readme.txt.

Note: This plugin doesn't work if the site is in Private mode, i.e. when $config['site']['private'] is set to true.
