plugins

So we talk about plugins, a "addon" or function to allow Soho to do a task which has been developed for a need one sees.

Ok, we talk about "hooks" which allow us to interrgate the "plugin" with Soho.

But what we really don't talk about is what language are we programming in and it's involvement??

Lets say we are doing a not database idea like creating a "custom page" beyond templates then I would think Html, css and the like would play a role.

Lets step into say a forum, or detailed "question form" would this be done in php for the "front end" and mysql back end??

Yes, I looke at the "hello world" plugin but it really doesn't tell you what we are programming in, unless I missed it?:(

i be happy to email you my plug-in I had a LOT of help in making it. The soho guys HELP a lot and Leh-Wen Yau HELP and all the great people on soho that have ordered my templates have tested and give me suggestions to make it even better.

It made up of javascript, php, html, css, ajax i think thats everything.

The plug-in is free to anyone the template that works with the plug-in is not free. So you can install my plug-in but it won't do you any good with out the template.

But it gives you some ideas.

First off, soho itself is primarily PHP and MySQL database based system. It also has to deal with HTML, .css and javascript for presentations on the browser.

Plug-ins are constructed by following a set of protocol defined by soho. You definitely will have to deal with PHP with one or more others from the list mentioned above.

Thanks Lwyau and Mike for your replies.

Mike, I will be in touch to get plugin so I may look at code to get an idea of the flow.
