How do you create a custom Joomla plugin?

Answer: Here’s the short answer on creating Joomla plugins:

1. Plan: Determine the plugin’s purpose (e.g., content modification, user action, system event).
2. File Structure: Create a folder within Joomla’s `plugins` directory (e.g., `plugins/system/myplugin`). Inside, create `myplugin.php` (main plugin file) and an optional `language` folder for translations.
3. Plugin Code: In `myplugin.php`, define a PHP class that extends the appropriate Joomla plugin base class (`JPlugin`, `JContentPlugin`, etc.). Implement plugin events (methods starting with `on`) to execute your logic.
4. XML Manifest: Create an XML file named `myplugin.xml` in the plugin’s folder. This file tells Joomla about your plugin (name, type, author, etc.).
5. Install: Navigate to Joomla’s administrator
