Question Kunena API Documenation

I've started familiarizing myself with PHP and what not and I'd like to start learning the Kunena API.

Is their any documentation on it? Maybe something for beginners?

I checked the docs.kunena.org , but it's a bit, lets say, . . . sparse.

We could say that about a lot of areas in the Wiki. :laugh: I think there's a general tendency by most people to leave jobs like documentation to "someone else". it's always "someone else's" job to write the documentation. I mean, let's admit it: The best documentation in the world is always written by someone else.

Now if I could only lay my hands on whoever this person was, I would chain their leg to a chair and refuse to feed them or let them sleep until they finished the documentation. Oh, wait, documentation ... that would be me, would it? :whistle:

I would encourage you to continue to learn about PHP and those things and we really appreciate all of the help that you've contributed to the Kunena project. It's not an easy job to write API documentation for beginners but I'll ask around and see what can be done.

Thanks Sozzled.

One of the things I was hoping to do while learning the API was to update the documentation, as best as a beginner could. Having something to begin with would be a great help though. If all else fails, I can just start looking at the classes and try to figure out how they work, but for a beginner that's a daunting task.

I'm currently trying to wrap my head around the Joomla API. I'm gonna try to create a custom component. After that, I'd like to start creating some of my own extensions for Kunena.

Hi

In general, many open source projects lacks documentation and Kunena is (unfortunately) no exception.
We are aware of that and this is one area we will make improvements on for Kunena 2.0.

The idea is, to make autogenerated documentation of the api using phpdoc/doxygen once Kunena 2.0 is out and spice it up with actual code examples on the wiki.

I believe the easiest way to get into Kunena right now, is to look in the templates and work your way back through the views, models and finally controllers.
That should give a pretty good overview and help understand the basics of Kunena.
