How to make plugin work? - docman - 2012-04-07

Please explain how to make a plugin work. Specifically, I do not know what code and where to include for to actually use the functionality of the plugin (say Contact Form). Should I include it in the theme or on the page, should I include it in the <head> or in the <body> section?

Thanks so much.

Did you read the readme, installation notes, howto attached to the plugin's archive or visited developer website ?

Don't come up with "let's say a plugin", but be specific if you want to get a useful solution.

Yes I did. I also read the Wiki.

Here is an example:

"Copy the contents of the page_plugins folder to plugins.

Copy both files in filestomove to /admin/inc/

I modified the /admin/inc/pluginfunctions.php file and have included the modified file as well as the original 3.1 version of the file (pluginfunctions_original.php)."

I believe I did what was suggested. I do not see the plugin functions showing up anywhere on the site.

Basically, what I am asking about is this:

Is there a need to put a code somewhere in the template or page, in <head> or <body> section to make a plugin to work?

Thanks for your help.
