Installation

Install CGI Scripts

Link the toolbox CGI script to the EPrints CGI directory;

ln -s /opt/eprints3/archives/ARCHIVEID/cgi/edsharetoolbox/ /opt/eprints3/cgi/

Usage

Having your plugin register an action on the toolbox is very simple. All you need to do is add a render_toolbox_item function to your plugin. This function is expected to return a DOM node that will be appended to a list element in the toolbox.

Dynamic Rendered Actions

If your action fires it's own ajax based request then you need to make a call to ep_refresh_edshare_toolbox.
