Need help and guidance [multi questions]

[MindTrix]

Ok i want to start working on a tiny addition too vB. Im guessing i would be better of doing it with vB3 (gulp)

So basically ive set this thread up so i can ask multi questions as i progress, in hope i get the answer i need

Firstly, i will need to make an option in the Admin CP so i can have this feature turnt on and off, Is this a big thing to do like PHP wise or should it be quite simple?

If someone can guide me in the right direction, Not tell me EXACTLY what too do though, just guide me and tip me off Maybe give some code snippets i dont know

I want help to get this hack made, but i want to struggle 60% of the way myself Thanks guys!

well do you want to give it its own section like a side box? or just a settin in the main vBoptions?

[MindTrix]

Well i guess if i didnt want to take up much space, it would be better in the vB Options as it is only one option (Turn off or on)

Enable debug mode and ye shall see some developer links on the vB Options pages which allow the addition/modicication of settings and setting groups

isnt there a way to always enable debug mode. but just in the ACP ?

install my first vb3 hack

[NTLDR]

In includes/init.php

find:

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/config.php'); 


Add after:

PHP Code:

    if (VB_AREA == 'AdminCP') {
        $debug = 1;
    } 


Now the ACP allways has debug on, but the rest of vB doesn't.
