    Hi All

    Is it possible to create third party extensions for connections pro?

    The reason I ask is i have the following scenario for a songwriters directory. I’m looking at:

    • listing all members who are active
    • membership levels will allow songwriters to add one or more songs (mp3/audio link) to their profile can be listed on the directory.
    • the songs can be searched via category of the song
    • members can purchase extra song credits that allows more songs to be added to their profile.

    I like the directory features of connections pro but I also need a membership component which controls some attributes of directory entry.

    I’m not sure how open this plugin’s api is (if at all) to integrate some business rules.

    re: I’m not sure how open this plugin’s api is (if at all)
    Well, Connections is really open. It is openly developed on Github, pull requests are always welcomed. There are currently 291 filters and 15 actions with more being added on just about every release. I’ve been spending a lot of time cleaning; improving and better modularizing the code in every release. I’m even open to hosting third party extensions for sale on this site. I’ve had a few dev commit to making something, but, none have yet to follow thru.

    I don’t see any reason why one could not create an extension with the features you listed. It would just time and dedication to add.

    Hope that helps!
