Hi,

What do you mean "parameter inserted by user"? Like, display a textbox somewhere where the user can enter something?

As far as I am aware, you can't insert parameters from the user on activation.

The normal way is to have a settings section for your plugin so that the user can configure options there.

An alternative is to break the plugin activation process and force the user to enter something if they want to activate the plugin. Not a nice method, but if it's crucial for the plugin to activate, you may have no other choice...
