Getting Ignited with EE2

I’m here to talk about developing add-ons for >{ExpressionEngine}

1. Client and Developer sign contract

2. Developer gets to work

3. Client gets annoying and demanding. (boo)

4. Developer can’t ﬁnd it, so he decides to build it.

It’s all over now, baby blue 5. The site is launched

6. Developer decides to release the add-on to the community

Bottom UP

THE ADD-ON IS CREATED IT IS NECESSARY BECAUSE FOR THE PROJECT TO SUCCEED

I WANTED TO FIND A SOLUTION WOULD THAT ALLOW DEVELOPERS TO JUMP IN

Identify a need

THINK ABOUT EXPRESSIONENGINE

Web Services E-commerce jQuery Python Authentication C Ruby Pulp’s Music Sysadmin PHP cURL Cronjobs REST CodeIgniter Social Media Maggie’s Farm APIs BRING YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH YOU

GET GOING

Epicentre

A group of components plug n ﬁeldtyp xtension m dule accessory

PLUGIN {correlates:to:a:template:tag} Basic Text Formatting No settings One-off; like a rolling stone

EXTENSION Pretty powerful! Hooks into the core: // ------------------------------------------- // 'channel_entries_tagdata' hook. // - The times, they are a changin’ // if ($this->EE->extensions->active_hook('channel_entries_tagdata') === TRUE) { $tagdata = $this->EE->extensions->call('channel_entries_tagdata', $tagdata, $row, $this); if ($this->EE->extensions->end_script === TRUE) return $tagdata; } // // ------------------------------------------- Custom Processing Settings

MODULE {exp:module:method} POST requests (actions) Backend control panel Custom database ﬁelds Advanced, powerful add-ons

ACCESSORY Simple tabs in the CP JavaScript -> Mods

FIELDTYPE Custom data formatting in channel entries Fieldtype API Google Maps, Taggable, Playa

AN ADD-ON IS A PACKAGE 2

$this->ee =& get_instance();

$this->ee->load->library('twitter'); $this->ee->twitter->call('statuses/user_timeline', array( 'user' => 'jamierumbelow' ));

$this->load->database()

Yo, EE what ya doin’?

ROUTING IS WEIRD

define('TAGGABLE_URL', BASE.AMP.'C=addons_modules'.AMP.'M=show_module_cp'.AMP.'module=taggable'); define('TAGGABLE_PATH', 'C=addons_modules'.AMP.'M=show_module_cp'.AMP.'module=taggable');

SOME OF THE HELPERS ARE SCREWED UP

$this->ee->TMPL->parse_variables($tagdata, $vars);

$vars = array( array( 'variable' => 'value' ), array( 'variable' => 'value2' ), array( 'variable' => 'value3' ) );

EE MODULES REQUIRES A LANGUAGE FILE

EXPERIMENT WITH OTHER’S ADD-ONS

CLIENTS ARE THICK

$addon_success = $this->beta_test->is_run();

DON’T RESENT SUPPORT

GET SELLING

HOPEFULLY...
