Hi all,
I need some hints about how to go about to create a dump filter and a
plugin for dumpBackup.php.
Since I'm a Delphi programmer I'll probably do well the programming of
the inner details, if I only knew how the stub for a filter (& a plugin)
should look.
I need to do quite extensive examination of the text content of articles
before knowing what to keep and what to skip. Sometimes I'd like to even
modify the text before dumping it. Hints about how to design a plugin
would also be apprechiated.
Options according to the dumpBackup.php file:
--plugin=<class>[:<file>]
--filter=<type>[:<options>]
If anyone has done a filter or plugin before, or have a link to an
example, I'd be very happy to take advice. :)

Take a look at the ActiveAbstract plugin to see a basic example at work.

Were currently using it to filter the Yahoo! Abstracts feed and it
should let you know about what's needed.
I have a lot of notes on the backup system that still need to be put
online and I'll make sure to note some tidbits about general plugin
architecture as well.
