I am attempting to create a new plugin but based on the video I am watching (by David) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJrMVTn8z0s it seems that things have changed a bit. No php index file for example. Is there something more recent? Is there an example plugin with some more advanced sample code (json for the config)? Sorry if this is in the forums, website or internet at large but not finding anything on the searches I did. Any helpful links are much appreciated. Thanks Craig

Sounds like a perfect motivation for a hangout! Anyone wanna do a :90 minutes GoToMeeting to discuss all things plugins? It's been way too long :-) Happy to host.

lets do it! any chance of the plugins being table driven by sql?I kind of do it already. Been working on a utility class with sqlite cursors on android. I want to work on core data on iOS too afterwards. these are just ideas though..

@David Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Date, Time? I'll be there!

Lets see when @Craig weighs in - he started it :-)

Oh my! Wish I had checked my email earlier. Chris (nadthevlad) thanks for the pointer to the file (and for making the Android version of Advanced Quiz). My searches never found this. Had I just scrolled down on the How-To's page, I would have found this :) Might be good to have separate page just for plugin dev getting started and more. Happy to join in a hangout. I am typically available 8:30 pm Pacific time and later. Very interested in this SQL driven approach of which you speak CMCOFFEE.

I'm in. Say when, say where. Cheers! -- Smug Chris (Coffee) I haven't used core data, but I have routines to use an SQLite DB in iOS... I whipped it together to complement using SQLite in Android with the same database. It's *really* easy.

CMCoffee - check out the BT_downloader class for sql utilities. Exists for Android too, but probably should be rewritten to include cursor loaders, etc. (Currently uses explicitly executed SQL commands - a bit dangerous)

I have an 8:30 PM meeting with someone not coincidentally about a BuzzTouch project to do data entry for almost 100 apps - quiz apps, Nick (not Chris) :) Anyone up for 9:30 PM Pacific tonight? David, I'll let you drive this if there is interest since you seem to be the man around here ;) Other days/times can work for me. Cheers Craig

Nick, sorry, I confused your name with Chris. :)

Maybe David could school us all on Swift :D

Let the Swift Optionals rock your boats. Let's do the Hangout.

OK Gang. Missed last night, rats. Lets get together on a GoToMeeting on Friday evening, 9:00 PM PST. Yeah, crazy times for some, especially those in Guam! But, let's knock out a late-nighter for old times sake! Friday, 9:00 PM PST, GoToMeeting. I'll post the Meeting ID here shortly before the meeting. See ya'll then.

I have 5 month old and a 4 yr old, so I'm home on a Friday. :)

Cool thanks Chris! Awesome Smug,will pm ya! I won't miss friday!

One more thing ... A set of goals as a triumvirate, convert a Core plugin to have these capabilities: - Auto Layout - Storyboards - Swift A multi-part web conference tutorial on that would be awesome! -- Niraj

@SmugWimp - the Dropbox link isn't working anymore and I don't have a self-hosted server. Can anyone share a complete v3 plugin with me or is there a way for me to grab current plugins? Also, it would great if someone with the BT plugin dev know how to create a complete, from scratch, v3 BT plugin creation from start to end with all sample files. Lot's of references to "same as v2" in the guide but I don't know how it was done in v2 and connecting the dots is just confusing and tedious. Sorry I am on the needy end right now. I'll contribute back as much as possible as I take the plugin dev journey. Cheers Craig

>Friday, 9:00 PM PST, GoToMeeting. I'll post the Meeting ID here shortly before the meeting. If possible, send us an email with the link to get into the webinar.

@Craig; it should work now. I got a new hard drive a couple of months ago, and not everything was replaced 'in a timely fashion'. Cheers! -- Smug

I'm in for swift. What is the webinar ID??

OK Guys. Meeting running...Starts at 9:00, if you don't see me now you'll see me then. 1. Go to JoinGoToMeeting.com 2. Enter this meeting ID: 813-458-429

Best hangout ever! No code. No lameness, just fun talk. Who's gonna fix the internet? @Craig Conover: I didn't realize you were literally :30 mins from me. I'm happy to hang out for an hour in person and show you this "plugin stuff" Hit me up in an email if you wanna connect. If we do it here I'll a have 20 dates by the end of the week that I don't want! Ha. Peace.

Sorry I couldn't join the webinar - got home late from work unfortunately. @David - I live in Redwood City, work in SF and I am in Carmel on weekends on some rare occasions. Happy to meet up sometime.
