KT Walrus Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I'm working on developing my own custom hooks, plugins, applications and I'm finding that the "Developing Plugins and Applications" Help Guides are woefully incomplete. There is practically no documentation there although there are some categories for help guides. Also, the "Themes and Customizations" Help Guides (while better) are far from complete and comprehensive. Any chance you can put some resources to complete these Help Guides for developers? Or, is developer documentation hidden somewhere else that I don't have access to since I am not a Contributor? I am only in the Clients group on this forum. I am unlikely to "contribute" anything to the Marketplace as I'm developing my own apps specific to my own site.
Joel R Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 No secret documentation. Make sure you're looking here:

Can you tell us what parts do you think are missing? Or what do you need help with?
AndyF Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I would take a guess here that if you can link to a few specific examples that are either incomplete / not detailed enough / otherwise not understandable (that kind of thing) that may help quite a lot, simply as specific examples of what needs adding/doing would help staff. ☺️
KT Walrus Posted September 10, 2018 Author Posted September 10, 2018 I was looking at the Help Guides here: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides but, the Developer documentation is hidden in the More... menu in this page header, here: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers I suggest the Help Guides be changed to link to the real developer documentation or put a link to the developer documentation somewhere prominent (like Resources menu in the forum).

Personal preference, not related at all to the content of the documentation you find lacking. Can you fill in the blank? What do you find lacking about documentation, other than the menu structure to find it....
