module creation form creator and smarty interaction questions (re building a chat)

been watching your vids wich u move too fast to see what codes youer using etc u might want to explain it for codeaphobics a lil more
but im getting a general understanding of it...i think

now my questions are
could you use a custom form feild say "chat_input" (that maybe even can allow embed codes smileys pictures etc) create a chat output module using smarty codes to pull in the chat input
i think thats pretty basic and can be done what im unsure of is the listeners are there listenersthat can be told to listen for cghat input then output it
can you create listeners as an end useer (havent gotten that far)

and am i kinda understabnding how it all functions corectly


ive offered on ning 5 test sites on my server only 2 small ones for importing ning data and developing a site around that as demos
and 3 more for module development if any creators are up to the challenge of creating a chat and i was also thinking a ning3 bundle that alowed easy cloning to create multiple instabces of each feature anywhere ..as a magor site feature..on profiles in groups etc

we have some great coders on creators..but even if they dont get involved it looks easy enough that once my sites up i can bumble my way through it and figure it out and maybe do it myself

oh i had a question what are those developer tools u are using in your vids

Hi, se, I think they're using phpStorm. They have a udemy tutorial on how to set it up, but you'll have to be quick to follow it!

From the udemy course, you can download each of the videos from the tab on the right during the course video so you can have a local copy to slowdown or pause as you like.

--edit--
The code being used in the videos is more of an example than it is useful. Better to download the code to your pc and look at it there instead.

The documentation section is pretty useful too:

For specific questions, open a new thread, and ask and we'll go from there.
