• $this->params: the parameters set for this plugin by the administrator
• $this->_name: the name of the plugin
• $this->_type: the group (type) of the plugin
• $this->db: the db object (since )
• $this->app: the application object (since )

Tip To use $this->db and $this->app, JPlugin tests if the property exists and is not private. If it is desired for the default objects to be used, create un-instantiated properties in the plugin class (i.e. protected $db; protected $app; in the same area as protected $autoloadLanguage = true;). The properties will not exist unless explicitly created.
