Groupjive plugins

Hi, I'm trying to figure out take a user photogallery plugin I've made for CB profiles and display it in groupjive groups. I'm having a difficult time trying to wrap my head how to go about doing this. I've looked in the wall plugin int_cbgroupjivewall_270, but can't seem to find where it's displaying the tab. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The wall integration is a pretty complex starting point. Review the Abouts integration for a simple display tab. The gj_onBeforeGroupTab trigger is fired on group tab rendering. The getAbout function is called when that trigger fires, which renders the about content.

Ahh it's MUCH easier to see what's going on in that plugin. Thanks Krileon this should be enough to get me going.

One more question..

This section of the getAbout function -

cbgjClass::getTemplate( 'cbgroupjiveabout' );
if ( class_exists( 'HTML_cbgroupjiveabout' ) ) {
return HTML_cbgroupjiveabout::showAbout( $aboutContent, $tabs, $group, $category, $user, $plugin );
} else {
return $this->showAbout( $aboutContent, $tabs, $group, $category, $user, $plugin );
}

what exactly is cbgjClass::getTemplate( 'cbgroupjiveabout' ); doing and do I have to define a template for my photogallery integration I'm working on somewhere? Or is this created automatically? As of right now I am not seeing any tab being display I see my integration in the GJ backend.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out why it wasn't display. I was copying over the getParams from the about integration. I just removed that and it's working now.

The getTemplate function loads the PHP file associated with the string given. Example as follows.

Template: category
Loads: components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgroupjive/templates/default/category.php

Most of our plugins have a similar getTemplate function to load their frontend templates.

The template files are not created automatically and you need to create them. For next release of GJ those template files will be created on install for the integrations and it'll no longer use the hardcoded template code, but instead just use the loaded template file.
