An easier way is to add your options to the existing options page by putting the site in debug mode. When you do that, extra controls will appear that will allow you to add sections and options (Add Option link at the top of each section). When you do that you choose a Varname, and then in your plugin code you can use $vbulleton->options['varname'] to get your value.

I put it in debug mode,
Setting Group: Valcavs Auto Copy Threads To Discussion Forum (id: valcav_news_discussion)
Added 2 settings:
Setting: News Thread Forum ID: (id: valcav_news_discussion_news_id)
Default: 69
Positive Integer
&
Setting: News Discussions Thread Forum ID: (id: valcav_news_discussion_discussion_id)
Default: 70
Positive Integer

So now I have to change:

PHP Code:

if (in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], array(69))) 


into

PHP Code:

if (in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], array($vbulletin->options['valcav_news_discussion_news_id']))) 


&

PHP Code:

 $dest_id = 70; 


into

PHP Code:

 $dest_id = $vbulletin->options['valcav_news_discussion_discussion_id']; 


???

Friendly greetings,
