Plugin coding guidance?

[Redouane]

Hello,

Thanks for making this great app, can't live without it.

First, let me try to explain what I'm trying to do: Let's say I'm subscribed to 10 'movie news' websites, which means they all pretty much report about the same things, what I want is to group the similar headlines in a way akin to Google News "In Depth" feature, but i'm a noob dev so i'm doing it in a hacky way by turning titles in to tags (minus the stop words) then using the tag cloud to browse the 'trending' tags.

What I did: couldn't find any documentation so I looked at some plugins and wrote a thing that doesn't work. http://pastebin.com/Ccq212E4

I'm really a noob so any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure I'm using the right hook or writing to the correct variables, how do you debug plugins?

Thank you.

this is an interesting idea but you're doing it a bit wrong wrt hooking

1. you should use HOOK_ARTICLE_FILTER, filter action is for other stuff (this is a bit confusingly named i guess)
2. the function in your plugin should be called hook_article_filter()
3. you should return tags in $article["tags"] not "tag_cache"

look at any af_ plugin for an example, i.e. af_fsckportal.

the documentation for plugins is sadly missing because i can't really be arsed to write it so the idea is learning by example, there's bundled plugins and other example stuff on tt-rss.org.

Hi Redouane,
If you wind up getting anything even halfway decent set up I'd love to help test since I could really use this type of feature.
