Anatomy of a POWr Plugin App

Standalone Editor​

Standalone is the primary editor for POWr plugins (depending on the user's platform).

  • Standalone will display what the plugin looks like on the right based on the settings used on the left.
  • The view here is slightly different than what an end user sees when they install a plugin on their website. This view is rendered using the backup_content. The end user view on their website displays the content.
  • Clicking the Add to Site / Publish button in the upper right will make the backup_content and content be the same.

View editor

View page is a way for us to see a plugin as it is on a users website. This uses the App's content rather than backup-content.

  • If a user is logged in, they will see the option to launch the popout settings.
  • Note changes a user makes in popout settings are immediately visible on the website by end users - both backup_content and content are updated in this case.
  • This is used by Jimdo users, and a modified version is used by Weebly users.

Wix Editor

This is a similar situation to the popout settings, but is part of the Wix CMS system. - more info later
