  23. [...] Plugins are php functions you can add to your WordPress install that modify output (“filters”) 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”.  [...]

  57. 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?

  66. [...] 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’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

  195. That’s a nice tutorial, Mark, but it doesn’t address the automatic argument-passing that takes place when the filter is applied and how that relates to the “accepted_args” parameter listed in the WordPress Codex (http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Hook_in_your_Filter) and the official documentation seems light on details and examples. Can you offer any information about that?

    I am trying to filter pre_option_stylesheet and I can return a value, but my filter function does not seem to be receiving an argument—at least not as shown in your tutorial. Do pre_option_(option name) hooks not result in string values being passed to filter functions in the same way as those you demonstrated?

    Brian Sexton

    November 15, 2008 at 2:19 am

  196. It looks like option(option name) is the one to use if you want to actually receive a value—at least for the “stylesheet” option; I tried it and it seems to be doing what I want.

    That still leaves me wondering about option(option name), though. What is the point of a filter hook if it doesn’t receive any input to filter? What am I missing?

    Brian Sexton

    November 15, 2008 at 2:32 am

  197. Hi Mark,

    Just wondering, is there a good resource to find out all the different ways you can interact with WordPress 2.6 (like about the different filters available for WordPress plugins)?

    I’ve held back from writing my own plugins because I don’t know about what you can do with plugins (despite my PHP being good enough to create one).

    Any advice appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Just the other day Robert Plank came out with a tutorial on how to build wordpress plugins and kind of picks up where you left off….really good stuff, you can see it at http://www.squidoo.com/wordpresscrusher or check out WordPress Crusher
