About

The plugin-system of Lychee allows you to execute scripts, when a certain action fires. Plugins are hooks, which are injected directly into Lychee. They only affect the back-end and can't modify the front-end.

Use Cases

  • Automatically watermark photos on upload
  • Automatically set albums public
  • Write metadata changes back to the original photo

How to create a plugin

  1. Create a folder in plugins/
  2. Create an index.php within the new folder and with the following content:
<?php

###
# @name			ExamplePlugin
# @author		Tobias Reich
# @copyright	2015 by Tobias Reich
###

if (!defined('LYCHEE')) exit('Error: Direct access is not allowed!');

class ExamplePlugin implements SplObserver {

	private $database = null;
	private $settings = null;

	public function __construct($database, $settings) {

		# These params are passed to your plugin from Lychee
		# Save them to access the database and settings of Lychee
		$this->database = $database;
		$this->settings = $settings;

		# Add more code here if wanted
		# __construct() will be called every time Lychee gets called
		# Make sure this part is performant

		return true;

	}

	public function update(\SplSubject $subject) {

		# Check if the called hook is the hook you are waiting for
		# A list of all hooks is available online
		if ($subject->action!=='Photo::add:before') return false;

		# Do something when Photo::add:before gets called
		# $this->database => The database of Lychee
		# $this->settings => The settings of Lychee
		# $subject->args => Params passed to the original function

		return true;

	}

}

# Register your plugin
$plugins->attach(new ExamplePlugin($database, $settings));
  1. Add the plugin-path to the database of Lychee

Select the table lychee_settings and edit the value of plugins to the path of your plugin. The path must be relative from the plugins/-folder: ExamplePlugin/index.php.

Divide multiple plugins with semicolons: Plugin01/index.php;Plugin02/index.php.

Available hooks

About :before and :after

Hooks named :before will be executed prior to the original function. Hooks named :after will be executed after the original function.

Album::add:before will be called when the user creates a new album in Lychee. The album doesn't exist at this moment. Album::add:after will be called after the album has been created.
