In this section, we will create a silex plugin that will display a “hello silex !” text in the properties panel of the wysiwyg.
The plugin will be based on an index.php file initialising the plugin, on a Flex application that will be displayed in the Wysiwyg, and on a button, visible in the properties toolbox header and displaying our plugin.

A specific panel is an individual SWF file that will be displayed in the wysiwyg properties toolbox and loaded based on the type of the selected component. For instance, if an image is selected, the image specific panel will be displayed, if it a text, the text specific panel is displayed. Creating a specific panel is useful when you create a new component for Silex. You can associate a specific panel to this component. The resulting specific panel will then be tailored for the specific needs of the component, highlighting it’s main properties. The Specific panels are displayed in the wysiwyg in the properties toolbox when the specific plugin is selected (symbolised by the “s” button in the properties toolbox header). The Specific plugin is in charge of loading the right panel based on the selected component(s) data. The url of the panel to load is specified in the metadata of the components object coming from the SilexAdminAPI. We we will see how to add these url in the XMLDescriptor of the components.
