margaux Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm (attempting) to build a wordpress plugin, for several reasons, but I'm sure it will be a learning experience. Are there many members here who have done this and would be able to answer some of my questions? I have loads! For starters - any recommendations on resources. I've looked at Wordpress Anthology which is good but doesn't go deep enough and Professional Wordpress Plugin Development which is also good but hard to follow. Thanks for any and all comments.

Larry Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I think I may have dabbled in one some time ago, but don't know enough to offer advice. Good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Conte Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Documtation is pretty bad. I jumped between sources until I'd found what I needed. My suggestions would be to use native code when possible. That'll make it easier to update, port to other solutions etc. I don't think you'll gain much from looking at my plugin as it not integrated into WP per se. All it does is working as a gate keeper for new comments. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margaux Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks for replying. I'm really struggling - resouces are scarce. At this point I just want to integrate my functionality (which is basic) into a wordpress site. After that I'll modularise it properly, make it flexible and look to make it a widget.

Antonio Conte Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Download other plugins an look at that code. It's a lot of aweful WP plugin code out there, but at least you might be able to understand what to do. I would recommend you to read about hooks. Maybe the most important thing for understanding how to develope plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
