Summary: This articles covers how to write a plugin that shows on the portal page. A portal plugin always gives a short overview on a piece of information (the so-called 'tile'). It can link a longer view that is opened when the tile is clicked, this we call the side pop-up. The side pop-up is optional.
The simplest portal plugin: An advertisement
The simplest portal plugin comes without a side pop-up and shows static content on its tile. Two uses for this would be presenting an advertisement or showing a link list, for example to other parts of an company's intranet that are not integrated into the appSuite (yet).
A typical portal plugin
A typical portal plugin uses the tile to display a short summary or teaser of its contents and uses a side-popup to show the whole content.
