Thank you for quick response,
I am new in Statusnet, so i am trying to be more
descriptive in my email to get helpful reply :). Basically i want to add
some extra functionality in subscribe button appearing on users profile page
(also some extra functionality for Unsubscribe). By default, form action for
subscribe button take it to subscribe.php under Action folder and in this
file there are two functions 1)prepare and 2) handle and in handle function
it calls start function of subscrition.php under Classes folder which helps
in adding entry in subscription table in Database and also send email to
user who is being subscribed. Now in my case i need some extra functionality
to implement after hitting the subscription, so how can i add this
functionality without changing the core code of StatusNet(talking about
subscribe.php under Actions and subscription.php under Classes). whether i
need to add some file under Plugins folder that can over-ride the
subscribe.php files function and also some new functions to add extra
functionality? Sorry for my weak explanation in last email. If there is
something missing again in my explanation then please acknowledge me, i will
elaborate it more.
Regard's
