Hey VB.ORG!

Stepped away from vB around the time v4 was starting to come out. Just curious if extensions are still stored in the database of if there is a more OO hook/event listener approach these days?

May get back into writing some customizations if someone I'm working with gives me the green light.

Hi Smokey,

Currently the vB5 version works with extending classes... OOP based. Hooking in on pages and so now is done by writing widgets or a (smaller set than we used to in vB3/4) template hook. Template hooks are still in the DB tho'....

I like the new API structure. Have a look at my latest mods, download one and dive into the code. It might give a clear view of how things work now.

Hope to see you more active again.

Best,
Joran
