I would like help starting my 1st plugin please
By learningbob
hi there, hope all had a good new year !
Ok so i would like to make a plugin, i don't know javascript, will this be a problem ?
I wanted to make a plugin that gives an option on widgets for 'mobile view' and 'desktop view' so for example i have a website in the iframe widget but it slows down the mobile loading time, so i would like to make that iframe widget only show on desktop and disable it for mobile view.
Atm i use https://www.w3schools.com w3-hide-small class with their javascript url in the header <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css"> on my other sites.
So 1st off how do i start this please ?
thank you !

You must log in to post replies.Depends on what you are making. If your plugin dont use javascript then it won't be a problem.

@Rohit Gupta thank you
you mean here ? http://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/guides/plugins.html
@learningbob Good start point is http://learn.elgg.org/en/2.3/tutorials/index.html
You can use My plugin as a skeleton plugin also.
@RvR thank you everyone for helping me understand the basics but unfortunately i'm no coder/programmer and my html css skills are pretty much zero looking at plugins and how they are built.
i think i need to learn more code really before i do this.
thank you anyways
