How to write a hook/app/plugin?

[ipbfuck]

Hi!

yesterday in 10 minute i've write a small plugin for wordpress to make click-able background with cursor and title (demo in my website - i've put manually inside ipb).

now i want try to make a plugin/app/hook for ipb... i've installed ipb in my wamp server; dev tools, all is ok but... really, i don't have any idea on how to continue!

 

1) hook; app; plugin... what is the real difference? when is best to make one instead of another?

2) i need just a little page with a url input a txt input (two setting field) and include a javascript code block in footer with this custom variables.

 

-

how i can do this? someone can help me to make my first plugin? ?

thanks in advance,

S.N.

Hook is part of plugin or app.

Go to plugins folder - your plugin - rename settings.rename.php to settings.php and open it.

Add form fields. See 

2. go to ACP - System - Plugins - your plugin - tab Settings. Add settings

Hi, i've another question sorry!

I've put code in fotter and vaf in form, but i don't have understood how i can put, in same plugin, also a different piece of code in header (for css).

when i go to template class list i cannot found nothing for css inclusion :|

hi, sorry, i need to ask for clean output.

this is in form setting (no clean, i've try with htmlentities ecc, but nothing seems to work here.

$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Text( 'Url', \IPS\Settings::i()->url ) );
$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Text( 'Title', \IPS\Settings::i()->title ) );

so, i want try to fix output:

public static function hookData() {
    $url = '{setting="url"}';
    $title = '{setting="title"}';

but also here, var contain quotes, so, eg, i cannot use dd slashes.

 

im sure exist a simplest way, but i don't know.

someone can report me a way for this? thank in advance

check this

\IPS\Settings::i()->url for example

 

[ipbfuck]

thank'u very much

is more simple with this instead of {setting="key"}

now i've used this, and work as expected:

// remove single e double quotes in url
$url = htmlentities(str_replace(array('"', '\''), '', \IPS\Settings::i()->url));

// maintain quotes here, but fix with add addslashes
$title = addslashes(htmlentities(\IPS\Settings::i()->title, ENT_NOQUOTES));
