Question Kunena APIs / developer docs

Hi,

I'm keen to develop a few plugins for Kunena (mainly to achieve what I need to on my own fora, but with a view to letting others use them if they have similar needs), but the Wiki is a bit sparse on developer docs.

Do API/plug in docs exists anywhere, or do any of the current developers have any notes they can share with me?

A quick bump for this question, as I'm still keen to write an extension or two for Kunena.

Anybody?

It does not as the API doesn't still exist.

However, we would be very interest in what you need our API to do, so it can serve better the plugin developers

Hi Johnny - Thanks for the reply.

There's a couple of specific things I want to write for my own implementation of Kunena, one is an Itinerary (Event) Calendar and the other a Reviews system. You may say that these already exist in the wider Joomla domain (and you'd be right), but I am looking to harness the power of the forum threads to allow forum users to create the content, and then other users to comment on them. I have a similar system running on a different platform, and it's proved very popular with visitors. Obviously I'd be sharing back any stable work I managed to come up with to the community.

So, the kind of API hooks I'd like to get into Kunena would be those that allow me to add extra fields to a new post form; write the extra fields to the database, and display the info within a post (with the ability to restrict these extra fields & data display to a specific category).

If the API hooks don't exist, I might be able to get around the problem in another way assuming I have some kind of idea of the way Kunena hangs together.

I could, of course, just start picking my way through the code, but was hoping someone might be able to give me a head start if the core development team have some docs already.
