Help Making a Hack

[gfxhavenowner]

Since no one filled my request to make a Top X Stats addon, I figured I would try. This is going to be a giant learning experience, so I'll be asking a lot of questions pretty quickly lol. I'm going to be reading through the resource links as well, but I'm not great as sorting out the good stuff from the junk, so if anyone knows of links that might help, please post them.

I set up the side bar link in the AdminCP. Now I need to know how to add a page that I can set up that will be shown when I click the link, like the vb options pages. TIA.

Little update:

I managed to make the admin page, can anyone help me with the SQL part of it? I want to define a list of forums in the input box, so that when you put them in, I will be able to recall the variable and exclude all the forums from another mod.
