Seeking Guidance on Gibbon Module Development: Variable Naming Conventions and Development Manual

I am a beginner with no prior programming experience and am not familiar with PHP syntax. Currently, I am developing a Gibbon module aimed at improving the Gibbon messaging module to better suit our specific use case.

During the development process, I have encountered some challenges, particularly in the following areas:

  • Variable Naming Conventions: I am unsure about the appropriate naming conventions for variables to ensure code readability and consistency.
  • Gibbon Plugin Development Manual: Due to my lack of experience, I am seeking official manuals or tutorials on Gibbon plugin development to better understand the development process and best practices.

I understand that starting from scratch in programming is challenging, but I am committed to completing this plugin development.

Therefore, I sincerely request assistance from experienced developers in providing guidance on variable naming conventions and directing me to relevant manuals or resources on Gibbon plugin development.

Thank you very much for your support and help!

Currently, the interface is very simple. I would like to express my gratitude to the Help Desk and Info Grid modules; their code has been highly valuable as a reference.

I have gained a better understanding of implementing Gateways and adding various HTML components.

Hi @AndroidOL Great to hear you’re up and running, and yes, often the best way is to learn from other Gibbon code. Be sure to check out the developer docs, they’re not extensive, but do have some coding standards and other helpful information to get started.
