Question Integrating a content plugin with Kunena

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help as I have been unable to find the relevant documentation.

I am a developer, and I would like to be able to add a regular joomla plugin to Kunena (my own(ish) custom). The plugin works great in Joomla itself, for articles, but I need it to work in the forums as well.

I could hack it, but I had hoped there would be something official from Kunena on this. Like an api I could hook into. Enabling Joomla plugins does not work for this plugin unfortunately, the tags {} are visible not the actual content I would like rendered.

This is the same question you asked in Joomla plugin support . There is not a lot of official documentation from the Kunena team; documentation—such as it exists—is located in the documentation Wiki .

The only information that I was able to find may be out of date. You might find Kunena 2.0 plugins events of some use. Good luck.

Yes, I know about the same question, because I noticed some bit of text saying if you were not willing to pay for an answer in the other forum, then do not expect an answer, so I figured I would try here instead

I will have a look at the pages you mentioned, thanks. A bit of digging around in the code has revealed a couple of interesting leads for hacks if nothing else. Would be nice though to do this in an orderly fashion.

Once again, thanks

Basically, that is a fair summary of the way that this forum operates.

This site operates on the principles defined in the terms of use and, in general terms, as stated in the second paragraph of the article What is Kunena? .

If the developers are in a position to provide you with more "specific" information, they will do so when they are so inclined. As I wrote in my earlier reply, good luck; I really cannot say any more than that.

If, on the other hand, you think that offering to pay someone to provide you with the information you seek would be a better approach, you might consider the category Custom work - offering to pay .

Given that this is a free bit of work I do for my local chess club, I doubt paying for it would be an option. Hacking it to do what I want is probably the better option in this case

But thank you I will see how far I get. It is really only for the members to be able to post an FEN string which will bring up a chess board. I already know where Kunena stores stuff, so I can integrate a call to the plugin in order to generate the necessary html.

It seems so easy when you explain it like that Oh well, onwards and upwards.

Once again, thanks.
