I am new to vbulletin, but have been programing with php for years upon years. Really, i am undertaking the task of converting a rather complex and code-lengthy smf plugin, to vb. I find myself, going to the vb api and recursively looking up terms. The API is not very helpful to me because its worded in a manner that assumes the reader has a indepth knowledge of vbulletin's inner workings... A simple lookup turns into a quest to determine what 1 object does which leads me to looking up many objects that were referenced in the initial objects description :( Not to mention that the description is usually not very insightful and i end up having to read through the code and trying to piece together what something does, anyways.

Is there any documentation/wiki that just sums' up the out-of-the-ordinary behind the scenes features of VB? For example, the registry, datamanagers, GPC, etc?


Thank you for your time,

I wish there was, but there isnt - however there are plenty of articles about on various aspects.
