Question Plugin developer documentation?

Hi,

I am interested in writing a few plugins for my Kunena and for greater release, as such I want to follow any specific coding standards and API hooks that you have created for plugins on Kunena.

I havent been able to find any documentation and was hoping that someone could point me towards any API information or similar.

Also is it possible to write standard Joomla plugins with their standard hooks that will effect the Kunena system?

Ideally I would like to see some hooks that I can manipulate through plugins to say load on the forums page o I can alter whether something is shown etc. For instance I want to write a plugin that would effect whether a forum is shown on the front page, dependent on criteria I set in the plugin.

i.e. Writing some further "private forum code" I can do this by directly altering the system but would prefer to do it through plugins that wont affect upgrades etc.

Cheers
Dan

Hello,

With kunena 1.6.0 there is an API whereas in Kunena 1.5.0 there are no API so it's more complicated to do things, but you haven't wrote a documentation because some things can change.

I advise you to wait the release of kunena 1.6.0 before to do something, with kunena 1.6.0 we will provide some modules/plugins.

having said you havent written documentation, does this mean there will not be documentation or simply it has not been written yet?

Also is there any basic ETA's so I can make decisions about which way to go with either moving to Vbulletin or waiting it out?

The documentation hasn't wrote yet, it will be done in the future.

I can say that the alpha of k1.6 is on the road and it will be released soon.

Awesome thanks.

I have somewhat cleaned up or changed the migration script from SMF 1.1.x to Kunena and changed it so that it will allow large forum migrations as well as allow apostrophe's etc into the DB.

I will now work on cleaning up it's HTML entities and cleaning up the script more. Waiting for 1.6 gives me time to do this.

Will the API allow for a Joomla style plugin system, i.e. calls that effect output like the onBeforeContentDisplay() etc.

The reason I ask, is that doing so will allow me to leverage such calls for display of forums, etc and allow for tighter security without having to change core Kunena code

I'm also interested in knowing how the kunena plugin system works. Have any docs been written or is there a starter kit for plugin creation maybe?
