Free extensions for Joomla!

Hi,

I have a custom component that is in use on a Joomla site and I'd like to write a plugin to allow it be fully included in the xmap sitemaps.

Is there anywhere that gives details of how to develop a plugin for xmap other than just looking over the existing plugins?

Thanks,
Tom.

BTW: The password restrictions enforced on signup to this forum are extremely restrictive, almost to the point of me giving in. I can imagine this is a very big issue from a usability POV for new users.

I second that fully, even the BTW part

I'd like to know also if there is some kind of documentation in writing plugins for Xmap! It would be great help indeed..

I'm also interested in it. At least a little description of the functions to be used / called and maybe the output.

Yes would be nice. Second the request.

I too am writing a plugin for Xmap to support the Bible Study component. I have looked at many plugins already written and have been successful for the most part but a few issues linger that I can't address without some sort of knowledge of the api.

For instance, is there a way to strip off the web site from the $node->link, which Xmap adds automatically? $node->browserNav=1 does not seem to work as expected (opening in a new window).

Is there a way to add anything to that link, like some javascript so it could open in a popup window (we are linking to audio/video files and a player).

Some docs would be so helpful! BTW - working in Joomla 1.7 and Xmap 2.0

Thanks!

Tom
