developer documentation
 

Hello vb team!!!

Where is the official "developer documentation" for plugin and addons makers???

You all recommend to access vb.org and read the article, right! But not complete documentation is available, only few vague old articles.

My example, I developed small public plugins and others personal, but never understand the complete tags of xml product import file.
I always cloned the basic xml from other mod that already existed.
I discovered vary new tags with the time, but I never found an official documentation on that.

What most developers do is study the vb code itself to understand the way. What can be slow and not always to understand, mainly for no super skilled professionals (amateur) like me.

Most functions of php classes are documented near to code, it's ok. My request is for basic documentation for introduce new people to make vb extensions.

Look at Wordpress project, the number one open source php software.
The success of the wordpress is totally linked the amount of existent addons. That is possible/easy because the documentation online of wordpress is extensive and it completes.

On vb.org have plenty of addons, but that can be multiplied a lot if you do a little help...
