Create Creating / Copy Copying / Modify Modifying Plugin Creation

Sorry for the title, tried to cover search options. I have modified a plugin, and would like to turn it into its own plugin, so I can use the original plugin (in this same application) ... and this new plugin can be used in other applications, or by other people, instead of being hard coded (in my case) in eclipse. I have done a bit of searching , but have not found any good information, was looking to see if the BT gurus could please point out some good articles / pages to read about the correct way of doing this. I am also wondering if there is any good information about porting this plugin to include iOS. Since that is not the OS of my choice, I do not know enough about it to even start guessing at what would be correct. Are there any good cross-platform programmers that may be willing to look at it for me, if it is outside the capabilities of me doing it myself? Thanks, Kevin

Have you read the How-To create a plugin by David@Buzztouch in the plugins section? Fred

Yes, I have it downloaded. It gives a good starting point, but could use a bit more info specific to creating plugins. I have looked over the plugin php files and such, but not sure how things fit together. Was wondering if there were any other good links to info, out there that would help understand "the buzztouch way" of doing things and doing it correctly. I guess my main concern is that there will be variable overlaps, that may cause issues. Will pick through the PHP files some more. If this was a "new" plugin, not a "modified->new" plugin, it may be easier to understand. Thanks

Danny of BT-Mods might be able to help. He's iOS. Fred
