First, a question. In the area where you are going to send a ribbon to someone, I was wanting to add a little bit of instructions in there. People might not realize that the Username textfield is for giving someone else a ribbon. So I wanted to add a little blurb in there about that and maybe some other things here and there. I wasn't able to figure out where I could add more text. I looked in both the action.ribbons.php and all the templates.

And as for the suggestion, it seems like the case in some of the phrases aren't always followed. For example, there are phrases with "vbBux_points" in the title, and so I wanted to find all the templates that were using those phrases. So I searched in the templates and it brought up about a dozen templates, and upon getting the screen to edit the template, "vbBux_points" is handily already in the search box to make searching for the bit of text easier. The problem is that in the templates, it was entered as "vbbux_points" I think it was. It's a minor thing, but I think it's something worth fixing in a later release. Or maybe I was going about doing what I was doing all wrong and I wasn't doing something the way I should have been.

vbPlaza has a TON of hooks.

You can hook vbplaza_action_ribbon_confirm_complete and modify some variables like $current, $extra_fields and more.

Be sure to use things like $current .= so that it will save what is already in $current and not overwrite it.

All phrases should be "lowercased" fonts, thats how all phrases are used even by vBulletin.
