how to make extensions?

ramy

does a 'how to make an extensions for vanilla forums' exist? i've already find a way to add a item in forum menu but i've got problems with class settings...

The easiest way is to take a simple extension and mess with stuff until it does what you want. Mark's been a little busy lately to work on documentation.

if(in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array('index.php', 'comments.php', 'search.php', 'account.php', 'settings.php', 'categories.php', 'post.php')) && 
	$Context->Session->User->RoleID)
{
	$Menu->AddTab($Context->GetDefinition("Musik"), "musik", "index.php?Musik=Afficher", "MusikTab");
}

$Musik = $_GET['Musik'];
if ($Musik == 'Afficher') {
$Body = ...contents to be posted...
}

How to do that?

ramy

Veiled where I am :

if (isset($_GET['Musik'])) {
	class Musik {

		function Render() { 
		echo "salut la companie";
		}

	}

	$Musik = $Context->ObjectFactory->NewContextObject($Context, "Musik");
	$Body->AddControl($Musik);

	$Page->AddControl("Head_Render", $Head);
	$Page->AddControl("Menu_Render", $Menu);
	$Page->AddControl("Panel_Render", $Panel);
	$Page->AddControl("Body_Render", $Body);
	$Page->AddControl("Foot_Render", $Foot);
	$Page->FireEvents();

}

the script work but i've got the fatal error : Call to a member function on a non-object in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\vanilla\index.php on line 24

what's wrong ?

I think you have to exit()/die()/return/whatever if you've created the page in the extension. Try putting in an exit() after the $Page->FireEvents() and see how it works out.

Also, a "NewContextObject" is a new object that has the context object inserted into it's constructor method, so assuming we're using 0.9.3 your Musik class would need a constructor with:

class Musik extends Control { function Musik(&$Context) { $this->Name = "Musik"; $this->Context = &$Context; } }

ramy

That did not change anything, I always have the fatal error : Call to menber function on a non-object in $Context->Session->Check(agSAFE_REDIRECT);

What version of Vanilla are you using?

ramy

0.9.2.6

Mark

And what exactly are you trying to do?
Are you trying to add a whole new page for the tab you added?
