hmmm, ya no good yet. I modified what you said and I get the settings group, however that wasn't exactly what I wanted. However I'm guessing its the only way. I actually didnt really want the settings group, but 1 of the text fields within that settings group.

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=announce_settings','popup','width=600,height=600');">
Edit</a>

So I was playing and came up with this plugin for forumhome, just to see if it could be done.

$options = $vbulletin->options['global_announce'];
$output = '<textarea name="global_announce" rows="10" cols="50">' .$options.'';
$output .='</textarea>';

echo $output;

and it basically shows at textarea now on forumhome with the text inside. So at least I know it can be done
