Official tips are located in the %SYSTEMWEB% web. Please do not submit new tips on your local installation since they will get lost on a upgrade. Contribute to the Tips Contrib to add new official tips.

---++ Add a Tip for a Plugin

If you are a Plugin author you can ship your Plugin Package with one (or more) tip of the day topic. Create the Plugin tip of the day topic here, then package it with your Plugin.

<form name="new" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH%/edit%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/">
<input type="hidden" name="onlynewtopic" value="on" />
<input type="hidden" name="topicparent" value="TipsOfTheDay" />
<input type="hidden" name="templatetopic" value="TipsOfTheDayTemplate" />
New Plugin Tip: 
<input type="text" name="topic" value="TipTopicForMyPlugin" size="30" class="foswikiInputField" />
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="foswikiSubmit" /> (replace =MyPlugin= with the name of your Plugin, without the Plugin suffix (i.e, =TipTopicForSpreadsheet= if it was for the SpreadsheetPlugin))
</form>
