Hi Dan,

It's hard for me to say how any addons I've been a part of have been developed step-by-step.  It really ends up depending on what the addon is supposed to do.  Generally speaking, if I was tinkering with one that called a webpage, I'd look at a similar addon and go from there.  Do you have a specific functionality you're trying to build?  Using that as a base, there may be able to find a similar addon (https://prometheus.atlas-sys.com/display/ILLiadAddons/Addons+Directory) that could serve as a model.

The programmer that did some LUA work with Aeon (another Atlas product if you're not familiar) here left or I'd be able to point you in a direction. But I can offer that he put them together after seeing examples that Shawn at Atlas emailed him. I hate to give the response, "it's easy and with that example, you'll figure it out fast," but that's all I can offer. 

Sorry I can't be more help,

Hi Michael,

I was sort of hoping for a step by step of how the existing addons were developed unless I am not seeing it in this documentation!

Thanks,

-Dan
