- I want to make a new button: "Announce this page"

- Pressing this button, a html form must be displayed
- In this form, there is a text area
- The author write in this text area a presentation text for his page. He can use the dokuwiki syntax. 
- The author press the submit button
- The presentation text, the title of the page, the author, are added in a custom RSS feed (or any XML document). This XML will handle the new pages presentations. - A new post is created in a IP.board Forum, with this same presentation text.
I don't know how to do that. I think I have to create a new dokuwiki mode, like "show", "edit", ... 
Am I wrong?
Perhaps an action plugin can do it, but I can't figure how to do.

To begin with, the first part of your project is simple enough. You can add a button to the page for certain users by checking the global $USERINFO array:
You can create a button that looks like DW's buttons--just check your browser's view source for the HTML. In your main.php, you can create a hidden or non-displayed DIV that holds the Form. Click the button to open the form; place a close link on the form to close it.
Your form could then make an Ajax call to a php script on the server which does the work in your RSS or XML. Dokuwiki has built in support for Ajax. 
Thank you very much.
I'm going to try.
