Hi guys,

first of all WELL DONE to all that contributed to Cotonti!

Yesterday I gave it a quick look, was impressed and realized that there is no German language pack included in this package.

Therefore I started to migrate an old one and will be finished on Thursday, 5.2.2009 9pm CET. Stay tuned.

@To all that used my plugins
After I finished my studies and now belonging to the tax paying community my spear time is really limited. Nether the less I'm slowly going to migrate a few of my old plugins to Cotonti.
1. German language pack
2. Movie Gallery v300
- You're free to submit new requirements until February 15th, 2009.
3. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thing the development of the UserGallery stopped again
- You're free to submit new requirements until end of February, 2009.

@Cotonti Team
- Please add a German section

Question:
Are there any code guidelines I have to carry of developing plugins for Cotonti?

What happens to all the function names - at this moment in time they all starts with sed_. Do you plan to convert the names to a Cotonti style?

Thx in advance
Alex

I do have plans to try to use all avaliable language packs on cotonti.com in the future. But there will not be a rush to implement this, as there are some non standard plugins that will have to be special translated.

You may submit your langpack to http://www.cotonti.com/downloads/langpacks/

As far as coding standards, I would recommend reading over http://www.cotonti.com/articles/org/coding_style

As far as special functions, our new main function that is best used, is sed_url which allows url's to be re-written, via admin panel. For now everything else should be pretty much handled the same, there are some nice new functions to include lang files, and to gather the path of a skin file for you. Just maybe glance over at the current plugins, in the core for examples, and there should be some new fresh examples soon, of plugins coded from scratch for Cotonti.

The header is all the same, as far as settings, (there will be improvements in future, but old style will be compatible, just not with the advandced features)

There is plans to convert functions to cot_ but this will not be until 0.1.0. Which that is just a matter of a simple Find & Replace.
