Friendica Addon development
==============

* [Home](help)

Please see the sample addon 'randplace' for a working example of using some of these features.
Addons work by intercepting event hooks - which must be registered.
Modules work by intercepting specific page requests (by URL path).

Addon names cannot contain spaces or other punctuation and are used as filenames and function names.
You may supply a "friendly" name within the comment block.
Each addon must contain both an install and an uninstall function based on the addon name.
For instance "addon1name_install()".
These two functions take no arguments and are usually responsible for registering (and unregistering) event hooks that your addon will require.
The install and uninstall functions will also be called (i.e. re-installed) if the addon changes after installation.
Therefore your uninstall should not destroy data and install should consider that data may already exist.
Future extensions may provide for "setup" amd "remove".

Addons should contain a comment block with the four following parameters:

    /*
     * Name: My Great Addon
     * Description: This is what my addon does. It's really cool.
     * Version: 1.0
     * Author: John Q. Public <john@myfriendicasite.com>
     */

Register your addon hooks during installation.

    Addon::registerHook($hookname, $file, $function);

$hookname is a string and corresponds to a known Friendica hook.

$file is a pathname relative to the top-level Friendica directory.
This *should* be 'addon/addon_name/addon_name.php' in most cases.

$function is a string and is the name of the function which will be executed when the hook is called.

Please also add a README or README.md file to the addon directory.
It will be displayed in the admin panel and should include some further information in addition to the header information.

Arguments
---
Your hook callback functions will be called with at least one and possibly two arguments

    function myhook_function(App $a, &$b) {

    }


If you wish to make changes to the calling data, you must declare them as reference variables (with '&') during function declaration.

#### $a
$a is the Friendica 'App' class.
It contains a wealth of information about the current state of Friendica:

* which module has been called,
* configuration information,
* the page contents at the point the hook was invoked,
* profile and user information, etc.

It is recommeded you call this '$a' to match its usage elsewhere.

#### $b
$b can be called anything you like.
This is information specific to the hook currently being processed, and generally contains information that is being immediately processed or acted on that you can use, display, or alter.
Remember to declare it with '&' if you wish to alter it.

Modules
---

Addons may also act as "modules" and intercept all page requests for a given URL path.
In order for a addon to act as a module it needs to define a function "addon_name_module()" which takes no arguments and needs not do anything.

If this function exists, you will now receive all page requests for "http://my.web.site/addon_name" - with any number of URL components as additional arguments.
These are parsed into an array $a->argv, with a corresponding $a->argc indicating the number of URL components.
So http://my.web.site/addon/arg1/arg2 would look for a module named "addon" and pass its module functions the $a App structure (which is available to many components).
This will include:

    $a->argc = 3
    $a->argv = array(0 => 'addon', 1 => 'arg1', 2 => 'arg2');

Your module functions will often contain the function addon_name_content(App $a), which defines and returns the page body content.
They may also contain addon_name_post(App $a) which is called before the _content function and typically handles the results of POST forms.
You may also have addon_name_init(App $a) which is called very early on and often does module initialisation.

Templates
---

If your addon needs some template, you can use the Friendica template system.
Friendica uses [smarty3](http://www.smarty.net/) as a template engine.

Put your tpl files in the *templates/* subfolder of your addon.

In your code, like in the function addon_name_content(), load the template file and execute it passing needed values:

    # load template file. first argument is the template name,
    # second is the addon path relative to friendica top folder
    $tpl = get_markup_template('mytemplate.tpl', 'addon/addon_name/');

    # apply template. first argument is the loaded template,
    # second an array of 'name'=>'values' to pass to template
    $output = replace_macros($tpl,array(
        'title' => 'My beautiful addon',
    ));
