Plug-in documentation and sample code are outdated
-
I understand that the MDaemon plug-in development documentation is outdated.
In addition to the date of last update in the file
C:\MDaemon\Docs\API\Plugins.txt
, which is in 2019, the document refers to legacy plug-ins and not to those that MDaemon uses now and which are only mentioned in thePluginAPI.h
file.The example plug-in is also based on the legacy architecture:
C:\MDaemon\Docs\API\Sample Plugin
.Would it be possible for both the documentation and the example to be updated and aligned with the modern plug-ins used by MDaemon in version 23.5 or, 24.0 when available?
Thank you in advance.

Emanuele,
I'll see if I can put something together for a future version. Sound good? Perhaps v25.

Hello Keith,
regarding updating the plug-in documentation, I thank you in advance if you can update it in the future.
I'm not in a hurry at the moment, so v25.0 would be fine, because I'm always caught up in the node-mdaemon-api project and I only opened the plug-in document because I had a new idea and wanted to see how complex the plug-in development was.

Understood. Since I designed/developed the newer Plugin API, only makes sense that I put together a sample for it. I tried to document/comment the PluginAPI.h header pretty well as things were added, but like most software developers, I hate writing documentation. I'll get with Jon and Arron regarding the docs.

For future reference, this was created as Work Item 27759

Keith, if needed, I will volunteer as a 'dumb programmer' to read the draft document.
