Reg: How to create new Plugins?

Dear, Is the only way that I can create new plug-ins is by using "Self Hosting" of BT on my own server? Ragz :) P.S: I am not a core developer :(

Yes in the sense that the only way to build a addition to your home is to own your own home. Landlords don't take to kindly to you adding additions to their house since you may not do a quality improvement. So, solution is to add the "Plugin" directly to the Source Code. For example the eBook plugin by Raveyd, just take the HTML code and create a HTML doc and add it to the Source Code and you can have a eBook for an app on any server without the plugin being installed to the Control Panel. Not all plugins will be this easy to add directly to the Source Code but most will be. Just download the Plugin take a look at the files the files that will be added to the Source Code and copy and paste. Remember, a plugin is just some code that comes with a interface that you access via the Control Panel. If you open up the code you can accomplish same without the Control Panel. Now the tricky part. To add the plugin to the Config file. If it's a HTML plugin such as the eBook no problem, just use HTML Doc. Otherwise you'll need to edit the Project_Config file and host the Online_Config file somewhere other than the Control Panel. Fred
