Is this out of date? There doesn't seem to be a GetConfiguration function within EZ_Builder.Config.Sub.PluginV1

Look at the tutorial step titled Code: Saving/Loading Configuration

The get and set configuration methods are overrides of the form. There’s a great video on the first step of this tutorial that demonstrates the step by step of building a plugin. I recommend watching that because it helps fill in any steps that were missed.

When you’ve done it once, it makes sense and voila, you can rinse and repeat:)

Excellent, thanks - I will do. I really must learn not to just jump ahead in the process:)

Trying to follow the tutorials but can't find where the plugin page has gone. How do I add a new plugin to the ez-robot / Synthiam site to get the XML?

Never mind. Just found the "Create skill control" link:)

#7  

I am trying to follow the instructions for adding my own plugin but I cannot seem to find the place to register the plugin based on the instructions.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

The new button to create a plugin skill control is less than an inch below the button you pressed to create this question. :)
