Each supported 3rd party extension is an independent plugin to help maintaining core easier and can extand to support more extensions in future. In this documentation, we will how you steps to create a GDPR plugin to support a 3rd party extension.

There are few steps for this, you must create a normal plugin, like other regular Joomla plugin, and after install you will be available to manage your plugin from our JA GDPR cpanel page.

Our case study is creating a GDPR plugin for Adagency component and you can use same steps.

Below you can see an example for this extension - com_adagency, the structure for files is like in the next image:

Root Folder - adagency (extension name is com_adagency)

Root Files:

1. Languages files: en-GB.plg_jagdpr_adagency.ini and en-GB.plg_jagdpr_adagency.sys.ini language files. Here you should add your language variables.

2. adagency.xml file is the xml file that is used for plugin install. Is very important to set for your plugin this attribute - group="jagdpr", like in below image, in this mode, your custom plugin will be added under plugins - jagdpr type

script.adagency.php file is the file that will be used to automatically publish your plugin after install. Note tha in this function - postflight - you should specify the extension/plugin element (this will be the name of 3-rd extension):

• $db->quoteName('element').'='.$db->quote('adagency'),
• and extension/plugin folder (this must be "jagdpr"):
• $db->quoteName('folder').'='.$db->quote('jagdpr')

adagency.php file - this file will be automatically executed when plugin is loaded in front-end. This must contain some specific functions that must be implemented by you based on users actions. Each function is used for delete user account, if your user want this and if you allow this action, other function will send an email to your site Super Administrator to manually delete user account if that user request for this and if this action is allowed by your site owner.

In the next image, you can see the file structure:

This is a simple example of what this functions must do.

• onPrepareLayout function - will load some JS or CSS files, if you need this, will check if the logged user is a valid user or not, in this case we check if the logged user is an "advertiser", this is a specific user account for AdAgency extension and only advertisers can see and manage the profile in JA GDPR cpanel. All the results will be transferred to the plugin default layout (plugins\jagdpr\adagency\tmpl\default.php file) and after that the layout will be loaded.
  
• onDeleteadvertiser function - will be executed when your user will click on "Permanent Delete" button from front-end. He will want to delete his advertiser account automatically from database. In this example we check this user account, delete all references from other database tables where his user ID value is stored and then this actions will be saved as COMPLETED
  
  
• onRequestdeleteadvertiser function - will be executed if your user what to request from Super Administrator to manually delete the account. The site Super Administrator will receive via email thie request and he will log in site back-end and will delete the user account.
  

This action request will be listed in JA GDPR - Activities menu item - and when Site Administrator will click on "Delete" button the user account will be automatically deleted.

Assets Files:

• assets\js\adagency.js file - here you can add your custom JS code, if your plugin need for this.
• assets\css\adagency.css file - here you can add your custom CSS code, if your plugin need for this.

Forms Files:

• config.xml file - is the xml configuration file. Here you can set the custom options for your plugin, all these options will be automatically listed in your custom plugin Settings and options will be checkd in plugin layout file (plugins\jagdpr\adagency\tmpl\default.php) in front-end.
  

  

  

• content.xml file - is the file where you can specific the messages and zone header title for your plugin, in front-end.
  

  

  

  

Images folder

In this folder you can set a default image for your user, if that user dowsn't have an image uploaded, also you can upload the logo that will be visible in JA GDPR dasboard, in back-end, or any other image that will be used in your plugin.

Tmpl folder

default.php file - is the plugin HTML layout content. Here will be your code that display all user account values, and will add delete buttons based on General Settings or Your Plugin Settings.
