Hippo Plugins
Hippo CMS has a pluggable architecture and many additional features are available as plugins. Hippo provides three levels of support for plugins:
- Default plugins, included in the Hippo archetype by default.
- Standard plugins, available from Hippo's feature library.
- Community maintained, available from the BloomReach Forge at Github with its own documentation site at GitHub.io.
A default or standard plugin meets Hippo quality standards, is properly documented, and is tested against each new Hippo CMS release and updated if necessary.
Hippo Default Plugins
Default plugins are developed and supported by Hippo, and they are already included in the Maven archetype used to start Hippo projects and no additional installation steps through the setup application are required.
Hippo Standard Plugins in the Hippo Setup application/Feature Library
Standard plugins are developed and supported by Hippo and can be added to your project from the feature library in Hippo's setup application.
