The various site features in Rophako are delegated out into pluggable modules. Your config.py should call a load_plugin() method for each plugin you want your site to use.
The core plugins admin and accounts are always loaded automatically. The other built-in plugins like blog, photo, and comment are optional but are enabled by default in the sample config file.
Each of the built-in plugins are loaded as Flask blueprints, and the plugin specifies where it attaches its endpoint to within its own code, i.e. the blog plugin will attach to the /blog URI. For loading the built-in plugins in your site, just refer to them by name:
load_plugin("rophako.modules.blog")
Plugins are assumed to be Flask blueprint modules, which use the variable name mod to hold their Blueprint object. If your plugin isn't a blueprint, and you simply want it to be imported and run (i.e. perhaps it manipulates the app object directly to specify its endpoints), use the parameter as_blueprint=False. An example of this is with kirsle_legacy.py which defines legacy endpoints for kirsle.net for backwards compatible URIs:
load_plugin("kirsle_legacy", as_blueprint=False)
Finally, blueprint plugins can keep their own templates bundled within their module's folder. All of the built-in plugins do this -- it means that, for example, if you elect not to include the photo plugin, that the endpoints for its URIs (i.e. /photos/album) will give 404 responses.
You can specify the template path for your blueprint's templates as a template_path parameter to load_plugin(). By default, the module's name is converted into a path and a /templates folder is appended. So for example, the blog's template path becomes rophako/modules/blog/templates. This works fine for built-in modules (as your working directory will be the root of your Flask application), but hasn't been tested for third party modules.
