Writing plugins for v4

Is there a guide anywhere for writing plugins for aMember v4? I need to integrate my CMS but am not sure where to start.

Thanks.

Thanks, that's a helpful start. It would be nice if there was a more comprehensive documentation, but this should be enough to get by.

I used this to create a skeleton, though the skeleton caused fatal errors which I have fixed and reported in the v4 bugtracker. I get the impression that out of the box this should be able to add users to my third-party database. The comments in the skeleton file say the first step is to test if adding users to the third-party database works, which it doesn't. I've looked in the existing plugin files and their contents seem very similar.

Everything is configured correctly as far as I can see but adding users doesn't work, and if I attempt a database rebuild it produces this error:

Code:

Rebuilding Mycms Db... An internal error happened in the script, please contact webmaster for details. Please contact webmaster: ****@*******.com. Incorrect response received. Stopped!

The aMember error log states:

Am_Protect_Table->getGroups() is not implemented

Code:

Exception Am_Exception_NotImplemented
Am_Protect_Table->getGroups [ library\Am\Protect\Databased.php : 548 ]
Am_Protect_Databased->isAdmin [ library\Am\Protect\Databased.php : 568 ]

Am_BatchProcessor->run [ library\Am\Protect\Databased.php : 664 ]
Am_Protect_Databased->onRebuild

AdminRebuildController->doAction [ library\Am\Controller.php : 139 ]
Am_Controller->_runAction [ library\Am\Controller.php : 116 ]
Am_Controller->dispatch [ library\Zend\Controller\Dispatcher\Standard.php : 295 ]
Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch [ library\Zend\Controller\Front.php : 954 ]
Zend_Controller_Front->dispatch [ library\Am\App.php : 1329 ]
Am_App->run [ index.php : 41 ]

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks. I have put it on pastebin:

I'm sure I have the database configured correctly. The plugin even detects my user groups just fine and I can select the default group for new users etc.

EDIT: If you want to see the structure of my user table and the field types I can PM it to you.

The paste will expire soon, so I have put it up for another day:

Great job on the new aMember.com btw.

Thanks. That stopped the error from showing up.

Unfortunately it still won't add users to the third-party database when they are added in aMember though. The same is true of trying a database rebuild for the plugin. Am I missing something?

Here is the latest code: http://pastebin.com/9PxR0K4F

I made sure to also add group_id to the $guessFieldsPattern array. In case you're wondering, that actually is the name of my user group field, coincidentally.

I searched for "Manage Content" in the ACP and couldn't find it. But I have already set up and enabled the plugin since the first post. I will explain how to avoid any confusion:

I did this in Configuration -> Setup/Configuration -> Plugins, where I added my plugin to list of "Integration Plugins" and clicked save. Then my plugin appeared as a tab button at the top, so I clicked it and configured the database connection and table prefix etc.

I know this worked because under "Mycms Integration Settings" on the plugin configuration I am able to select user groups from my tables in Mycms, which demonstrates the link was successful. The settings are saved also, and remain there every time I check them again.

The next step in the documentation of the plugin says I should be able to create users and they will be added to the third-party tables. Yet when I add a user or attempt to Rebuild the database in aMember, the user is not added to the Mycms user table.

Thanks, that solved it. I don't remember having to do that in v3 when I made a plugin.

Well, now I can get on with integrating the login etc. Thanks again.
