Editing Where Plugins Appear (section)

==Places==
A "place" is really just a string. You can create your own arbitrary "place" and assign plugins to render there. You then render that place. There are a few different functions for rendering a place which dictate how this happens.

$plugin->render_action_list( "my_place" ); - render the plugins which "appear" in the "place" my_place as an unordered list of links
	
$plugin->render_action_list_bar( "my_place" ); - render the plugins which "appear" in the "place" my_place as a table of buttons
		
$plugin->render_action_list_icons( "my_place" ); - render the plugins which "appear" in the "place" my_place as a table of icons if the plugin has an icon defined or a button if an icon is not defined
		
Some of the available list of default locations in eprints: (note: you can render these in your own code using the methods above)
