Btw. a possible subject for the Summer Reboot could be explaining the
different ways you include your extension files in the activate method,
right now I have a mix that I have found in different extensions looking
like this:
NoCachePage
Page.send :include, CollectionTags
Page.send :include, PressTags
The NoCachePage thing I found in the MailerExtension while the Page.send
examples are from the PageAttachments extension, but now I see that the
MailerExtension's tags are included without using Page.send. Is there
anything already written on this subject?
Hi Gert
There are currently seven articles listed (planned? hoped for?) under
the Summer Reboot:
3. Writing your Own Extension
* Creating an extension I – Adding tags (and some useful tags) [AW]
* Creating an extension II – Adding a tab in Admin UI (and what is
shards?)
* Creating an extension III – Modifying the Page UI from an extension
* Creating an extension IV – Extending and overriding Radiant
behavior [CF]
* Creating an extension V – Creating a special page type
* Creating an extension VI – Skinning controllers with front-end
layouts (share_layouts) [SC]
* Global Tags
I think a part of what you wrote here belong in Part V. As for what
happens upon activation and how tags could be included, we need
something. Perhaps, something like 'Inside an Extension' that explains
some of the concepts involved in an extension?
By the way, please feel free to add any information to the Summer Reboot
- don't worry about it being complete/ completely correct. It will get
fixed eventually! Also, since it's a wiki, some information is better
than no information - the first run is for developers.. and the 'Summer
Reboot' equivalent of "Citation Needed" is most acceptable. Just start
something (oops, I sound like a Microsoft[1] or Sony[2] campaign!)
Cheers,
Mohit.
