Hi there.

As a plugin developer, I would love to see what changes to expect when you release FB8.

My plugin (The FogbugzTimesheetPlugin) currently has two "issues" I hope I can improve with FB8:

  • Better visibility. (I would love my plugin to pop up under "Reports", instead of under the almost invisible "My Settings" tag.
  • .Net framework. My plugin currently runs on .Net 2.0. I would love to start using LINQ in the plugin, but I am not sure how many installations are on .Net 3.5. Do you have any recommendations/guidelines with respect to this?

Regards, Espen Albrektsen

We're still working on getting the documentation finalized for new plugin features, but to address your immediate questions, we haven't added anything to allow adding menu items to Reports (now called Schedules, btw) and we're still using .NET 2.0.

Any update on the updated documentation for the plugin API? – Rodrigue Nov 19 2010 at 14:56

Espen,

You could add your plugin to a menu of your choice using jquery and a static js file.

The kanban plugin is a great example of this. We have made an internal plugin that adds invoicing capability to fogbugz and have chosen to add "invoicing" to the maain navigation bar if you are an admin.

 You do have to be a little careful when adding to menus using jQuery, since the layout of a page, names of element ids, etc are all subject to change. – Daniel LeCheminant♦ Sep 3 2010 at 11:42
