This plugin provides functionality for users to share their publications.

Upgraded for 1.8 by [ColdTrick IT Solutions](http://www.coldtrick.com)

Custom publication types
------------------------

[](#custom-publication-types)

It's possible to add a custom set of inputs to a publication. This can be done by eighter extending/overwriting the existing types or by registering a new type.

### Registering a new custom type

[](#registering-a-new-custom-type)

The plugin hook `register:types`, `publications` allows you to add a new custom type. The new type will be listed on the form with the language key `publications:type:` if defined (otherwise it's just the new name).

### Inputs for your custom type

[](#inputs-for-your-custom-type)

If you've registered a new type and the user selects it, the view `publications/publication/edit/` will be called.

When editing an existing publication the view gets the publication in `$vars['entity']`.

### Input validation

[](#input-validation)

In the save action a plugin hook `input_validation:`, `publications` will be triggered. If you return `false` the user will be send back to the add/edit form. In order to help the user with what went wrong, please use `register_error()`

### Input saving

[](#input-saving)

If you name your input fields `data[somename]` this will automaticly be saved with the publication under `$entity->somename`.

If for some reason your data can't be set in this way (or you wish to manipulate the data) an event `save:data`, `publications` will be triggered for which the third variable will contain the current publication.

### Output your data

[](#output-your-data)

When the publication is viewed you can add your custom data by providing a view `publications/publication/view/`. This view needs to output table rows in a two (2) column table.
