JForum Extension Point ?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

I'm a Java developper which would like to add support for new tag in jforum. In fact, it's for a World of Wracraft guild site, and I would like to support WoW object reference such as Itemstats do for many PHP site/forum engine.

I want to know if theire is any "extension" mechanism in JForum which authorize me to do it by simply put my jar in classpath, and some class d�claration line in a file ?

Or I have to take the JForum source and directly plug me in ?

Regards,
SegFault.

By tag, do you mean a new BB Code tag, e.g. [xxx]yyy[/xxx]?

If so, you might be able to do this via the bb_config.xml file. This lets you add tags and do substitutions based on Regular Expression replacements. Just update the XML in this file with your substitution requirements, restart the server, and you've got a new BB tag.

If you want to add it as a more visible option in the editor, you can do that by modifying the templates.

Hi Monroe,

Yes by tag I mean [xxx]yyyy[/xxx] ; thanks of your answer. It's a good start point for me

But, I need more than regexp replacement. I have to fetch information from another site, parse it, and do the replacement.
I'll take a look at the xml tonight anyway. Thanks again
