Hello! I'm taking my first steps in PHP and MySQL and I want to start making vbulletin 3.x products for my site.
I have read the vb manual about Creating a Product (https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/creating_a_product) (it has only basic elements) and I have read some articles there (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=184).

What other should I read to be ready to start? (For example how the vb data manager works, how to add options such as select menus, radio buttons, text fields etc to a admincp or standard vb page and then to use them on the plugin system, other standard things etc)

thanks sorry for my bad English

Take a look at the vB3 Articles as there is a lot in there.

I've found the best way to start is to download a modification that does something similar to what you want and take a look at how they did it.
