How hard is it to add Custom Alerts from a different system?

[Claiver]

Hey,

I'm planning to integrate XenForo with a gaming platform which has groups/events/etc.
But before we do so I'd like to know:

1. how hard is it to add the XenForo header on every custom page?
2. how hard is it to add custom alerts to a user?

Thanks a lot!

Both of those are possible but will require programming knowledge.

An add-on already exists to apply the header and footer to other pages (Kotomi).
There are also Page nodes and other options.

Custom alerts have been created for many add-ons but it will require custom development.

Hey Brogan,

Thanks for your reply!
I have programming knowledge so I'll probably be able to make this. What I don't have, however, is XenForo knowledge.
How would I best go about realizing this? Through a plugin? Can I get a plugin to render custom Alerts based on templates/phrases in the database?

Kotomi for your header and footer: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/kotomi-generic-script-bridge.122/
MassAlert for your custom alerts (code base for you to extend): http://xenforo.com/community/resources/massalert-send-custom-alerts.591/

Yes, it would require an add-on.

There is a development discussion forum but it's only available to licensed members: http://xenforo.com/community/forums/xenforo-development-discussions.34/
