FreeMindPlugin

The FreeMindPlugin implements the %FREEMIND% tag to render FreeMind mindmaps in a Foswiki topic. It requires Adobe's flash player plugin to run from the browser. FreeMind is open-source, "free" graphical mind-mapping software written in Java.

Syntax

%FREEMIND{ mindMap="pathToMindMap.mm" <optional attributes>}

Attribute	Description	Required
mindMap	specify the mindmap (.mm file) to display	Yes
width	specify the display area width in pixels or percentage	No
height	specify the display area height in pixels or percentage	No

Example

%FREEMIND{ mindMap="%ATTACHURL%/Wiki.mm" width="200" height="200"}}%

This example uses %ATTACHURL% to locate a mindmap file attached to the same page.

If this plugin is installed, you will see the sample mindmap displayed via flash player.

Settings

FreeMindPlugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting, write %FreeMindPlugin_<setting>%, e.g. %FreeMindPlugin_SHORTDESCRIPTION%

• One line description, is shown in the TextFormattingRules topic:
  • Set FREEMIND_SHORTDESCRIPTION = one line description here
• Debug plugin: (See output in data/debug.txt)
  • Set FREEMIND_DEBUG = 0

Installation

You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.

Open configure, and open the "Extensions" section. Use "Find More Extensions" to get a list of available extensions. Select "Install".

If you have any problems, or if the extension isn't available in configure, then you can still install manually from the command-line. See http://foswiki.org/Support/ManuallyInstallingExtensions for more help.
