Creating a product xml file.

[pjdaley]

Ok I have the xml currently creating the installation for my product. The product code is all done and works if you use the page however what I don't understand and seems to be incredibly confusing is how in the hell do I actually implement the code?

Is there like a Hello World product example laying around here that everyone has seen except me?

How do I add a settings tab? How do I add settings options and actually call those options. I see how they are used via other xml's but that is hardly helpfully in actually explaining how it works.

My product is very simple.

It creates a new table and users can leave i guess you could say "reputation" points and feedback on a user.

So the user will have a positive, neutral, or negative "rep" number.

But how in the hell are you supposed to know the XML values to add to the correct templates and options and add tabs in the user profile, etc.

Sorry if this is common knowledge. I have been coding in PHP for almost 8 years now and this vbulletin product development has me going insane.
