Hi,
I'm a developer experienced in C / C++ and, to learn some PHP and Web programming, now try to adapt a plugin for Oxwall for the needs of a friend who runs an Oxwall server.
To get started, I have two questions:
1. I cannot find any library reference / code documentation to get an overview of the Oxwall source code - is there any (beside the plugin crashcourse)?
2. Inside the plugin I started to write for testing (based on the crash course), it looks like the 'init.php' contents are execute every 5 seconds. My idea of an 'init' is that this is called only once when the page is loaded?
If init.php is executed every five seconds by intention - where to put some code that shall be executed only once?

Hi Kieron,

But not some kind of reference?
How shall I find out what classes are part of Oxwall, and what properties and methods they have?

the plugin should help with that also you could use inspect element to see what is what on your page

In other words: There must be some interface between the Oxwall 'core' and the 'plugin'. Does the skeleton cover the whole interface, or how do I discover what to use?

Hi Dave,
well, that's the place I have looked at.
But I only find the "Plugin Development Crashcourse" and the "Plugin Skeleton" there. As written, I am looking for some kind of reference to get an overview of the interface between the oxwall core and the plugins.

Frank

Frank, for now our documentation is not full
(http://docs.oxwall.org/dev:index), but we constantly working on it and
do our best to make it more clear, so it could help Oxwall developers to
understand how the software works.

I'm kind of dissapointed about the documentation (and I've even mailed the the people over at docs, but without a response). I find it way to uner-documented to even try to get a head on it:/
