plugin development workflow

aaandre · 2004-12-20 22:34:41

I would like to develop a plugin which

1. adds 2 fields to the “Advanced Options” portion to the “write” interface – giving access to Custom 3 & Custom 4 fields in the table

2. modifies the content of these fields when article is Saved and modifies it back to readable format when the article is edited

3. allows for a structured retrieval of articles based on the infoinput in these fields (I think I can manage this part).

How should I approach this? Is any example code available for modifuying the “Admin” interface?

Thank you.

AS of right now, aside from hacking TXP itself, there’s really no ability for Admin side plugins.

To answer my own question:

1. Edit admin_config.php and give names to ‘custom_3_set’, ‘custom_4_set’.
