I've been reading about making Joomla Plugins and so far I've stumbled upon numerous "types" of Plugins like
Profile Plugin and Content Plugin.
Questions:
Thanks.
There are different types of plugin available in Joomla,
All the above are types (Means based on this type you can do chnages on particular sections). for example the profile plugin allows you to access user profile, the content plugin allows you to alter the article content. and so on.
So you need to first check what type of plugin you have to create, like you need to access user data then create profile plugin. or content then content type.
The system plugin allows you to modify entire out put of page. You can see a sample content plugin here
Hope it make sense..
