Where is the "Is Global" attribute created?

I'm updating my plug-ins, and I'd like to add the "Is Global" attribute to them, but I'm not quite seeing where that gets incorporated in the code - pointers, please?

Its under the security tab in Settings for the feature.

You don't have to do anything to update your plugins. If you have a plugin that does not support re-use on multiple pages you could prevent the is global setting by adding this in the feature definition file:

supportsPageReuse="false"

Features like the Blog and WebStore have this because they use friendly urls that must have the correct page id in the real url that the friendly url maps to so they cannot be used on multiple pages, but it defaults to true if not specified.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Where is the "Is Global" attribute created?

I was actually trying to sort out why it wasn't showing up under the "Security" tab for my custom features, and if I needed to add something to the feature definition file in order for it to appear. Good point about the friendly URLs - I've implemented that for the MegaGallery, and I'll test it to see if it needs to be set to "false". Thanks for the quick response!
