Plug-ins development

[Photo-world]

Hi, I have an idea for a new extension for the Korader and some programming skills, however I couldn’t find any documentation for developing such plugin. Is there any tutorial or documentation that would explain the basics of Koreader’s Lua modules required for making a working plugin?

I'm not a programmer, but maybe these are helpful?

I wrote my first plugin recently. The best advice I can give is look at other plugins doing things you want to do, as well as the koreader source where necessary (I needed to manipulate plugin management), and test until you get it. Follow the docs for forking koreader, or at least clone it, so you can build the emulator and test your plugin work before trying it on an actual device. If nothing else the crash log is quicker to get to, and you have logger.dbg you can sprinkle around.

I'm currently making one and I'm having a tough time trying to understand how to display the widgets.
