I'm sick of trying to program this

[sebaot]

I've written a few plugins for myself now. Nothing's been easy. The documentation about it (products and plugins) sucks. It's ridiculous. They could've left those little pieces of crap out instead of putting it in there.

Trying to handle the API documentation is a pain. There's comments in there describing methods literally like "Bla bla bla" (i.e. update_ban_status), and, man, is it too much to ask they put a little down on the hooks and when they fire? I've been working with registration_addmember_process and registration_addmember_completed or whatever the hell they're named. Addmember_process works great. Addmember_completed I throw a "standard_error('hello');" in and it doesn't show up. Sure'd like to know why it doesn't show up, but I guess I'm supposed to sit and read documentation that says "bla bla bla" and "does some stuff" and try every single hook in there, click "Save", on my plugin, scroll back down and get into edit mode of my plugin (was it so hard to make a "Save and Reload" there, too?!) and keep trying and trying and trying until something goes right.

No, I've written some plugins, and the documentation has been of no help. The worthless forum search engines are of no help either. I don't know how they filter out the results. Select all and random number generators to fill out the rowsets?

I am sick of this vBulletin hacking, and I write software for a living. :-( It'd be different if there was good documentation and it didn't like heckle you with comments like "bla bla bla" and "does some stuff" when you try to figure out what it does and why it's not working.
