[Question] Vbulletin terminologies and Acronyms

[Come2Daddy]

Hello there,

Actually I'm trying to get started writting my own hacks and mods, but as you know times is tough :p , I found some special vbulletin conventions which I'm trying to familiarize, however I found some acronyms and terminology that I think the stuation would be much easier if I know those terminologies, and acronyms meanings such as:

CSRF in define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);,

bf_ugp in bf_ugp_genericoptions,

GPC in $vbulletin->GPC['xxx'],

or bit such as in postbit, or reputationbits, .... etc.

of course I found its meaning in the dectionary, but I couldn't have any clue about what does it mean in the vb templates.

waiting your help, and thanx in advanced :)

CSRF = Cross-Site Request Forgery. This is not a vBulletin terminology, but a widely used one in the web programming world.
bf_ugp = Bitfield Usergroup. Usergroup bitfields, with attention to bitfields. Bitfields are used in programming in general.
GPC = Get Post Cookies. Self-explanatory, and used in the PHP world.
Bit = a "bit" (not in "zeros and ones", but literal bit). Postbit = a part for a post. Reputationbits = a part for a reputation.

Thanx a lot, I'm realy glad to receive this help, now many things make sense to me, but if you could refer me to a full reference for these acronyms at least those ones which are under vbulletin conventions, such as ugp or klimit by the way I still don't know what's klimit :D

any way thanks again :)
