Guide to vBulletin coding?
 

Probably been asked before but couldn't find it. Is there a guide to creating vB module (or component or whatever), including how to use hooks etc. Particularly interested in reading up on how to include the variables and styles etc.

Any help gratefully received, will naturally release whatever I create here. Currently looking at converting a module I wrote for Invision :)

Zomg thats an incredible list. Thanks for pulling that up.

I've actually been putting together an ebook on vBulletin Customization basics... how to create your own product, plugins, custom php file and pages that integrate with vbulletin's many amazing features, grabbing user info, etc. PM me if interested :)
