Writing a Q2A plugin, is the tutorial still good?

Question

I ran into http://www.question2answer.org/plugins-tutorial.php but it mentions 1.5+ as the supported version. I wonder if this still holds for 1.7 (I'm asking if the plugin tutorial is compatible with v1.7 )

I think so since I'm still using most of the same plugins after upgrade, but I'd like to know from someone who's already written a plugin :)

Thanks

It is not clear if you're asking if the plugin tutorial is compatible with v1.7 or if the plugins you're currently using are. Those are 2 very different questions.

The former is true. There are minor changes to perform in order to avoid using legacy code, though. E.G.: this require_once QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'qa-app-options.php' should be turned into require_once QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'app/options.php' for most requires.

Regarding the latter concern then it depends on each plugin whether it is compatible with v1.5 and v1.7 or not but, in general, those plugins are compatible.

Thanks, I'm asking if the plugin tutorial is compatible with v1.7 :)

As I said, it should be. Anyway, if you happen to find any notice/warning in your server error logs then let me know and I'll take a closer look at the issue
