Problem while creating custom plugin - harshalone - 2011-07-20

Hi,

I want to create a custom plugin which works like this

Admin :
1. Click on add profile
2. Fill the form
3. Save [ Save into Mysql database]

Front End :
I want to populate the data on front end

Problem:

How should i create a custom plugin for the new version of getsimple... is there any tutorial guide or a post.
1. I edited the sidebarfile in admin template,
2. Added the menu i wanted to and uploaded my php file inking into the sidebar anchor tag but when i click the link ...... it shows me 404 error saying this page does not found.

Please let me know how i can create a plugin stated above with admin panel because population of data will not be a problem for me i think so.

Looking forward to hear from Admin or any other expert from the forum...

Thanks

the best way is always to study how others do it, so you could check / read other plugins

the second suggestion is: to be patient, to try and try again, until it works, I notice that self-learning is the best helper

and you have a good start with the plugin-tips in the wiki plus the existing plugins

the i18n-gallery uses a loadtab.php and other plugins do the same to open a tab in the menu

Cheers, and good results!

In the part where you register your component

Code:
# register plugin

register_plugin(

    $thisfile,     # ID of plugin, should be filename minus php

    'Multisite Plugin',     # Title of plugin

    '0.1',         # Version of plugin

    'Johannes Pretorius',    # Author of plugin

    'http://www.dominion-it.co.za/',     # Author URL

    'Can Administer and Display multiple sites from one admin section.',     # Plugin Description

    'plugins',     # Page type of plugin

    'simple_events_createevent'      # Function that displays content

);

'simple_events_createevent' # Function that displays content
this function is the one that gets called when they click on your Event side menu.

thus write a function in your plugin

Code:
function simple_events_createevent(){

  echo "Hallo world";

}

and this is where you can add your form and logic.

Look at your error log file, enable debug

http://get-simple.info/wiki/config:gsconfig?s[]=debug

and

http://get-simple.info/forum/topic/937/about-debug-mode/

I think your code is breaking and then the whole script stops.
