Could someone write-up a short tutorial on creating a plugin for Xanthia?
I am looking for something that I can pass it variables from the theme and have it return an image with a link built from the variables, sort of like the topic icon but a different image.

Have a look at the 'Example' modules plugin for adminlinks, it should give you a very good idea of how to do what you need to do... should be very simple.

Mike,
Also take a look at the smarty documentation on plugins. The only two plugin types you'll likely write are template functions and modifiers.

Ok thanks to both so far, now I have one more question..
How would I get the sites fully qualified URL from within a plugin?
IE http://www.postnuke.com

Mike,
Use the API pnGetBaseURL. For use in templates there is the equivalent template tag .
Code
<!--[pngetbaseurl]-->

Thanks Mark!
Working out nicely, I am creating a Digg This Article Plugin for news articles.
If I get it working cleanly then I am also going to do it for SlashDot too.

Ok next newbie question.
I have to urlencode all of the inputs, I have gotten all of them to encode EXCEPT the URL I have to pass, the relevant code is below
Code
$baseid = pnGetBaseURL();
$baseid .= "index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=";
$baseid .= $articleid;
$baseid = rawurlencode($baseid);

Would this help:
Code
$baseid = pnGetBaseURL() . "index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=" . $info[sid];
Then, I;m not using Short-URLs, so i wouldn't know what happens what the output will be when using short-urls. -

I'm not having a problem with the variables for the plugin, the OUTPUT of the plugin needs to be urlencoded so the entire URL can be passed in the URL for the submit.

Oh, I thought you were having trouble building the URL..
On this plugin thing for Digg This for WordPress: http://www.seoegghead.com/blog/seo/how-to-get-dugg-digg-for-wordpress-plugin-p113.html
They're using urlencode and not rawurlencode.
I could be wrong though, just trying to help ;) -

I tried urlencode as well, it is just this part that isn't encoding..
And it is driving me insane... lol

Maybe you should be using XHTML symbols rather than ?(?) and &(&)?
