I have seen the "developer documentation" describing how to create a custom plugin and indeed i have written a custom plugin for hikashop before (albeit a long time ago). Ok so what i want to do is write a custom plugin for coupons - so im thinking of adding that custom plugin as follows:- /plugins/hikashop/coupon/coupon.php (for the above: is this the correct folder/file path for adding a coupon plugin?) and then im thinking of adding code like so (to the coupon.php plugin file):- Code: class plgHikashopCoupon extends JPlugin { function plgHikashopCoupon(&$subject, $config) { parent::__construct($subject, $config); } function onBeforeCouponLoad(&$coupon,&$do) { } } (for the above: am i extending the right class? or should i be extending a more specific coupon class? Also is my constructor function correct?) Thanks for the help in advance!")* was created by *[diesel1984](/forum/user/30999-diesel1984 "View diesel1984's Profile")* -- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.3 -- Joomla version -- : 2.5.18 -- PHP version -- : 5 Hi, I need to write a custom plugin for coupons.

Make sure that you also add the xml for your plugin and then zip both files and install the zip via the Joomla installer so that you can activate the plugin via the Joomla plugins manager.
