internal package DirectedGraphWebMapPlugin

initPlugin($topic, $web, $user) → $boolean

• $topic - the name of the topic in the current CGI query
• $web - the name of the web in the current CGI query
• $user - the login name of the user
• $installWeb - the name of the web the plugin topic is in (usually the same as $Foswiki::cfg{SystemWebName})

REQUIRED

Called to initialise the plugin. If everything is OK, should return a non-zero value. On non-fatal failure, should write a message using Foswiki::Func::writeWarning and return 0. In this case %FAILEDPLUGINS% will indicate which plugins failed.

In the case of a catastrophic failure that will prevent the whole installation from working safely, this handler may use 'die', which will be trapped and reported in the browser.

Note: Please align macro names with the Plugin name, e.g. if your Plugin is called FooBarPlugin, name macros FOOBAR and/or FOOBARSOMETHING. This avoids namespace issues.
