|0. Create a Template | Create a template with for the new zone, add a custom block where the plugin content will be presented, by doing <code><?php echo $this->generateBlock('side'); ?></code>. Look in //\ip_themes\// for example templates.|http://www.impresspages.org/docs/getting-started/understanding-themes/|
|1. Write Plugin with an own **zone** |  |http://www.impresspages.org/docs/working-with-plugins/custom-zone-example/|
|2. Install the new Module.| Click on "Install" in Backend> Developer> Modules. ||
|3. Create a Zone in BE.| Create a Zone in the Backend> Developer> Zones. Associate the zone with your template and plugin(**alias module**)|http://www.impresspages.org/docs/working-with-plugins/custom-zone-example/|
|4. Populate the block from point 0. with content |Create a **System** File in your plugin folder to populate your Block you generated in 0. with content. You can add some JavaScript / CSS to the page too by doing <code>
$site->addCSS(BASE_URL.PLUGIN_DIR.'examples/random_sentence/public/randomSentence.css');
$site->addJavascript(BASE_URL.PLUGIN_DIR.'examples/random_sentence/public/randomSentence.js');
</code>|http://www.impresspages.org/docs2/core2/blocks/|


===== Commands =====

<sxh php>
 //generate a named block
 <?php echo $this->generateBlock('main'); ?>
 <?php echo $this->generateBlock('custom_block'); ?>

  //generate a link to a custom_zone
  <?php echo '<a href="'.$site->generateUrl(null, 'custom_zone').'">AddressBook records</a>'; ?>

</sxh>


===== Ajax =====

== Add Javascript ==
Add the **m g a** vars (http://www.impresspages.org/docs2/core2/mvc-model-view-controller2/)
To point to the right controler.

<sxh js>
//in system import the *.js
// 2 is the internal import priority. Default is 1. Makes script be imported after all other, like jquery. 
$site->addJavascript(BASE_URL.PLUGIN_DIR.'zvg/zvgtable_zone/js/jstest.js', 2);	
</sxh>

<sxh js>
$(document).ready(function() {
  console.log("request per ajax now!");
  showRandomSentence();
});


//post request to our plugin to get new sentence
function showRandomSentence() {
    var data = Object();
    data.g = 'zvg'; //our module group
    data.m = 'zvgtable_zone'; //our module name
    data.a = 'getNewSentence'; //action (method) that need to be executed on the server


    $.ajax( {
    type : 'POST',
    url : ip.baseUrl, //ip.baseUrl is a root of your website available globaly in JavaScript
    data : data,
    success : sentenceResponse,
    dataType : 'json'
    });    
}

function sentenceResponse(response) {
	
	console.log("Receive data:");
	console.log(response);
}
</sxh>

== Add php in sentenceResponse.php  ==
<sxh js>
class Controller extends \Ip\Controller{
    public static function getNewSentence() {
        global $site;
        $data = array(
            'status' => 'success',
            'sentenceHtml' => "hellow from controler"
        );
        
        $answer = json_encode($data);
        $site->setOutput($answer);
    }

}
</sxh>
