Topic: 2.3 - Extensions. How ?
Old system plugin removed ? How to write new extension ?
Re: 2.3 - Extensions. How ?
Extension manual for FA 2.3 is not written yet. In mean time you should look into includes/hook.inc file to find how the extension is integrated with core sources.
In short words:
. create unique folder under /modules and place here all the extension scripts,
. create /modules/xxxx/hooks.php connector file containing extension hook class definition which extends hooks class found in hooks.inc;
. write all hooks_xxx class methods you need to be used in core FA code (especially install_options);
. install and activate extension under Setup - Install/Activate Extensions.

Re: 2.3 - Extensions. How ?
i make new file
PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare install_hooks() in D:\webserver\htdocs\web\2.3-original-aimaks\modules\APworks\hooks.php on line 187
PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class hooks in D:\webserver\htdocs\web\2.3-original-aimaks\modules\APworks\hooks.php on line 21
but some wrong because hook.inc exist class and funcion like this. Do you have a little examlpe , new extension.
Re: 2.3 - Extensions. How ?
You should create your own hook class named hooks_APworks which extends hooks class. Also please look inot comments in hook class definition in hooks.inc - here you will find which methods are appropriate for your extension and how to implement them.
Do not include 'includes/hooks.inc- it is always included in session.inc file.

One more question?
Add new TAB it work now?
Re: 2.3 - Extensions. How ?
Yes it does. You have to implement install_tab() method in your hooks class. The example_class mentioned in hooks.inc comments should be defined as is e.g. customers_app class in application/customers.php.

Re: 2.3 - Extensions. How ?
Yes, you can now provide access levels via extension hook class method intall_access(). I was missing in previous hooks.inc file, so please upload te newest version form CVS or wait for 2.2.2 to be released.
Sorry for the delay with the info.

Re: 2.3 - Extensions. How ?
In the old extension system you can replace a report by creating the reporting folder and the report number, like "report/rep107.php"
In 2.3, is there any way to do it ?
Re: 2.3 - Extensions. How ?
Answer to my question:
Yes, you have to create the report an place it into modules/xxx/reporting
The function find_custom_file in main.inc search in this order:
1) report in the company folder
2) report in one extension (the first found is the first used)
3) standar file
