Answer 1

The plug-ins are very coupled with the overall open inviter framework, so I just added basically the whole thing. Perhaps overkill, but nice if you want to add other plug-ins. I placed the entire inviter tree at the top level (probably not the best place). I then added the following lib into the libraries directory. This was taken off of one of the codeigniter forums. Both in code grabbed from the forum and the main openinviter scripts, i found I had to put in a fair amount of small tweaks.
