Programming in vB - noob
 

I'm pretty comfortable with vBulletin styles and modifying templates and such..so I'm ready to take things a step further and I want to try to program something that our forum needs.

First, I looked in the documentation at vBulletin and didn't see anything with a list of all of vBulletin's functions... perhaps I just looked over it. If you look at php.net's website, you can see all of the functions and an example with the function in use. So, I'd like to avoid re-inventing the wheel if a function already exists...i just have no idea where to look to see what functions already do exist for vBulletin.

What I need to program is a mod that will allow me to specify how many posts you can post in a specific forum based on your usergroup.

So lets say you're a registered member with a usergroup ID of 2. When I go into a Forum with the ID of 5, all of the users in usergroup 2 can only post x amount of times per year/month/day.

Any advice to get me going in the right direction? Thanks :)
