I'm working on converting a component mod of mine from IPB 2.1.x to 2.2.x, and I saw something interesting. I've got some settings that use conf_evalphp to do pre/post processing code to make sure the values entered are correct and I see this message when I go to my settings page:

Setting PHP code not evaluated. EVAL code contains PHP command keywords.

I noticed that now in the sources/components_acp/ folder we have a new folder, called setting_plugins. There is a file in there for working with the Trashcan setting. But we still have the option to create PHP code for new settings, and there is still a conf_evalphp column in our ibf_conf_settings table. Can we get an explanation of what the new setting_plugins folder would be used for specifically, and how to use it?

Expect docs soon...

Developer docs are in progress and are over 30 pages now. You'll get lots more info on them as they get closer to done.

Staff had said components would work from 2.1 to 2.2. This will be mighty frustrating if they are going to require their authors to make changes, when I was led to believe otherwise.

Developers Docs, wahoo!!

Templates need to be changed. Thats about it.
