How are mods done now?

[ChrisLM2001]

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:

Plugin System

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
