Developing for/extending HAP

[FishCustard]

Hi Nick,

 

Is there a quick guide to how to extend HAP? More specifically I'm looking to write a module that has a tile as an entry point, displays a page allowing for some data entry and file uploads and then composes a document based on these each week. It's to streamline the composition of our staff briefing document.

 

I have developed desktop apps in C# before, and written web applications in Python and PHP (eww...), but have little experience with ASPX - I'm sure I'll be able to figure things out, but could do with a kick-start on developing for HAP specifically.

 

Thanks in advance!

There's some API References on codeplex: Home Access Plus+ - Documentation

 

Basically you'd just need to make new .aspx pages, most of which will have javascript/jquery

Cool, thanks. I'm assuming the 'pretty' URLs are done using ASP.NET Routing?

Yep, you may struggle with it because of hap controlling that part, but you can always download the source and edit that.

My plan was always to add the module directly into HAP - hopefully in such a fashion that upgrades won't break it irreparably.
