How are mods done now?
 

Got sidetracked on other issues about the time of all of the "hook", AJAX and plugins craze took off about 2 years ago.

So would like to know: where's the RTFM on how to install these new fangled thingies. ;)

Noticed some hand coding is still involved (something recognizeable!), but don't understand the new term of "install as usual" with .xml. Like where do you install it? :erm:

Found it by Googling of all things. :/

I like and dislike this new edit system. Like it for not editing 11+ php files for a mod to work; but don't like the aspect of not knowing what is edited, without going threw a lot of xml code itself to read what's changed.

And I thought template modding would be over with this new fangled hook system. :cry:

The plugins are listed in your AdminCP when you have installed/imported the product :p
