if you want you can add plugin parameters in the following way, this is a
example

    <config>
        <fields name="params">
            <fieldset name="basic">
                <field name="enabled" type="radio" default="0"
label="Enable" description="If you enable this, make sure you have added a
password. You will not be able to access the /administrator folder without
your password!">
                    <option value="1">JYES</option>
                    <option value="0">JNO</option>
                </field>
                <field name="password" type="password" size="50" default=""
label="Password" description="This is your password. You will use it to
access your /administrator folder. Dont Forget It" />
                <field name="mode" type="radio" default="0" label="Mode"
description="This is the authentication mode. If you use PHP as an Apache
module, use the HTTP Authentication (more security). ">
                    <option value="1">HTTP Authentication</option>
                    <option value="0">URL Hashkey</option>
                </field>
            </fieldset>
        </fields>
        </config>

@  Mohamed Akram
I have seen that most of the xml files of plugins and modules contain a tag
called <config>. Please tell me what that is...

Thank you very much...

Here is an example for a search plugin in joomla documentation,
http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_search_plugin

actually you can define any number of params for any joomla extension,
assume, you want develop a search plugin where you want allow the
administrator to define the search limit, and based on the defined limit
via the back end you can show the result,

in your php code you can get the params set for a plugin like this,

$plugin = JPluginHelper::getPlugin('system', 'yourplugin name');
$this->params = new JParameter($plugin->params);

$search_limit = $this->params->get('search_limit')

The plugin i intend to develop is like this.
User is allowed to select videos or audios from a list of items. Once the
user selects one item the video/audio is played inside the site. (without
redirecting to youtube or any other site). I hope to facilitate the user to
upload such videos and audios into the database also.
Yet i still cannot decide where should i start.
Can you please give me an idea on how to start this?

Thank you very much...

Hi Alexander.

I think that for such tasks you will need not a plugin, but a component. And the best way to start is to take a paper and write down some base ideas how it should work, what db schemas will it use and so on.

Also look at docs.joomla.org in Developers section, there is a tutorial of creating basic component.

Best regards,
Dmitry.

Hi guys,

Sorry, but this list is for Joomla Core CMS developer and discussion of
how to improve the CMS, therefore this discussion is off-topic.

You should instead ask this question on the Joomla General Developer list.
 Here's the direct link to it:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/joomla-dev-general

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Nick
