Bots and plugins / Re: Plugins and related "triggers" that are not tied to content
« Last post by cjstudio on Today at 06:23:55 »Hello again. I was away for a bit due to a family emergency.
I now understand that Elxis does not have a general "plugin engine" so to speak (i.e., like Joomla's JPlugin).
After reading what you've so graciously posted, and thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed response, it looks like the best way to achieve what I want for my project is to use a combination of module and component coding (as this is going to be a fairly involved project). The module could contain custom forms that essentially provide the desired action as forms can be triggered via submission. I'll have to read up more on the URI system, as this does indeed look very useful.
And, because forms can be hidden, I could pass parameters if needed via hidden forms and Ajax.
Please let me know if there are any mistakes in my understanding. Thanks again!
