  23. [...] Plugins are php functions you can add to your WordPress install that modify output (“filters&rdquo ;) or to change behaviour (“actions”).  With the Plugin API you need to “hook” your own filters and actions into the WordPress flow, using the function: add_action (<your_function>,<wordpress_function> ;) Have a look at this 5–minute video tutorial on writing a basic plugin.  As an example:  I wanted my SiteDeals15 Released page to appear as a posting on both the blog and in the RSS feed (normally pages don’t show up in either of them).  So I wrote a  plugin to change both the title and the link of my post on Digg RSS feeds, and have it point to the page. Have a look at the plugin (as txt file): it just contains two functions and  “hooks”.  [...]

    I had no idea that a plugin was just a standard php file with a bit of commented text at the top… identifying it as a plugin. That’s awesome! You’ve given me my first step in writing a plugin.

    Thank you Mark! I was trying to do a little reverse engineering on my already-installed plugins to figure out how to make my own…your quick tutorial helped me get the basics down.

    I would love another tutorial that takes a plugin one step farther…for instance, update this plugin (foo to the bar) to allow for a “Plugin option” screen which lets you change what text you want to be filtered, and what text to replace it with. Inspired yet?

    [...] As the old saying goes, better late than never. So goes our second installment of interviews with members of the WordPress community. Our first, way back in the beginning of the year was with Skippy. Though it was well received, life and other online endeavors got in the way, and the idea fell far to a back burner. However over the past few months it kept creeping its way back up, and I began looking around for someone who’s been active in the community, yet hasn’t received some of the attention that perhaps others have. Not an easy task, as there are numerous contributors to the WP community that deserve some spotlight. That said, Mark Jaquith (also can be found at Mark on WordPress) has shown more and more on my radar. From his video tutorial on how to write a plugin to his many contributions to the core code development, Mark is continually giving back to the community. [...]

    I don’t even have speakers on this computer but i sat and watched it, paused the screen, typed out what you had and it worked like a charm. I’m using this now on a blog to change certain words to specific links. I want to figure out how to set this up to edit them in the wp-admin instead of doing them in the plugin coding itself. One day…. lol

    This is a really good tutorial on writing wordpress plugins. You make it seem so simple :-)

    You may or may not know but there is a chap called Robert Plank who is selling videos on how to write plugins for large amounts of money. You may want to consider doing something similar?
