Beginner to October CMS plugin development

votes

I am looking to develop a few bespoke plugins for the laravel based October CMS for a client.

I have read through a good portion of the documentation (but not all of it) and I cannot find any information for the following:

  • Plugins with their own tables and database migrations
  • Adding custom plugin page and functionality to the admin area

It has been a long day and i may have just missed the topics on this area in the documentation but if anyone happens to have good knowledge or better, example code, that would be great

Asking for tutorial and off-site resources is off-topic on StackOverflow. - Lexi
October does have a Support section with many tutorials and links to get you started, e.g. octobercms.com/support/article/ob-18 - Alex Guth
it does and it also states: "Great! If your question is about programming or development try Stack Overflow for an answer, using the octobercms tag." - Scott-David Jones

All about making plugins for October CMS: http://octobercms.com/docs/plugin/registration#introduction

It's about database migrations (plugin's own tables) and adding settings pages, menu items, lists and forms to the backend admin interface.

Look at builder plugin. It's a good start to plugin development and understand plugin structure and scaffolding.
