Hi,

We don't really have adequate documentation yet I'm afraid; the easiest thing at the moment is probably to copy another plugin's lib.php and remove the functions you don't need.

Here are a couple of examples of contributed artefact plugins which might be useful:

Hello Richard

I already did those thing. i  already install  but  when i click on my personal development plan menu.

there are no fields to display.

so if you have a idea  so you check the lib.php

Here is a code for lib.php.
