How vB works?
 

Hello,

I'm just began vB and I'de like to learn how it works as in the whole architect. Can any of you modders give me a place to learn how to mod vB and where did you learn everything?

hah, i'd love to hear a good answer to that or read a tutorial that explains the coding in detail.

right now i am just looking through each index.php and occasionally browsing the files it includes and doing a "*omfg holy ++++*"

Well, if you want to learn how to 'mod vB'...start by installing some hacks.

This will hopefully give you some insight as to how it all fits together, and you will work out how to mod it yourself.

take 6 months, learn advanced php and mysql then go review each and every bit of vB code. That should give you a good idea :)

LOL you make it sound so complicated Zach ! LOL

lol. I installed over 10 hacks already(and looked @ them). I have some questions:

1. NVM found the answer, they do make you edit hte index.php :P

2. Does the Admin CP use templates for the mod's admin pages?

I came from phpBB and I never modded inthere but I understood what was going on, now I have to adapt to vB.

"2. Does the Admin CP use templates for the mod's admin pages"

hrm, i'm trying to make a mod for the ADMINCP right now that lets me have another entire group of templates not even listed in the same table. i found what i *think* is the code under the admincp/templates.php file. those files use the phrases, but not templates (i think? but havn't gotten that far).

Can anyone (Zack too :)) you recommend any books?

No, only phrases.

Then how do you print out rows? Would you use:

foreach(row in results etc...)
{

print $row['a'] etc?

}

?
