Converting plugins is not really that difficult. It's just the fact that in Seditio a lot of the functions were slightly renames, so all you have to do is just use the replace feature in any standard text document editor. For this demo I'm guiding you using standard NotePad.

At the top of each plugin there is a lot that needs to be changed, so just use these (remembering to have ticked 'Match Case')

LDU_ with SED_
_LDU with _SED
ldu_ with sed_
cv( with sed_import(
plugins/extended/ with plugins/

Now, thats a lot of the things you mainly needed. But, in the plugin itself there are a lot of 'mysql functions' that have to be changed.

sed_sql_affectedrows
sed_sql_close
sed_sql_connect
sed_sql_errno
sed_sql_error
sed_sql_fetcharray
sed_sql_fetchassoc
sed_sql_fetchrow
sed_sql_freeresult
sed_sql_insertid
sed_sql_listtables
sed_sql_numrows
sed_sql_prep
sed_sql_query
sed_sql_result
sed_sql_rowcount

Those are the ones taken from Neocrome.net. Most plugins don't use nearly that many, but thats what neocrome supplied us with. Now, some functions have also changed. I've noticed this list to have a lot that are false and I've reported most of them to oliver, but if you find your plugin has this problem in ldu 802 go to /system/functions.php and just rename them and place them in the seditio /system/functions.php.. but most of these should be working according to neocrome.net

Yet again, barely any plugins actually use that many, unless you're coding ldu over again ^o) Now, there are still some things from neocrome.net's documentations that aren't mentioned, such as userlevels. Now, Seditio uses usergroups and maingroups, so achieving what you want is a little more tricky and might require just a little bit of php/common sense knowledge.

In your text editor, search for something like this:

$usr['level']

If you find this, replace it with this:

$usr['maingroup']

I'm still not 100% positive that works. Now, if its prompting whether a user is an admin or not.. its a bit different because maingroups function so weird its hard to achieve what you want by a simple > or <.. So, since Seditio uses rights, you can do this:

$usr['isadmin']

That is just asking whether the user is an admin or not..

Ah, almost forgot the default rights. Personally I don't set these. I leave it up to a webmaster to configure them for themselves, because I don't really understand them.. but this is how Oliver taught me on the neocrome forums.

Auth_guests=R
Lock_guests=W12345A
Auth_members=R
Lock_members=12345

RW12345A

R is read ability. This will give a guest the ability to be able to view the plugin.
W is writing ability. It will give a guest the ability to fill out fields and forums.
12345A beats the crap outta me. I got no clue.

Now if you did this all perfectly, your brand new Seditio plugin should work fine. If not, please post all errors on our forums and I will try and resolve them 1 on 1. Also remember, you might not get it your first try. Things never come that easy. ;-)
