Creating vB modifications for beginners
Where can I read about it? All that I found is unreadable for beginners
For example, I want to create a hack, that will add a new line in user column (postbit) with some text. |

Im also at the stage where I want to start putting my ideas into practice.
Im on the w3schools.com website, any ideas where I should start? Im guessing the following but i maybe wrong! HTML XML Javascript PHP SQL Once these have been studied, is it difficult to put them into practice is vbulletin? How long did it take for you to get to grips and write your first mod? |

The best thing to do is find a similar modification and see how they went about it. Actually, if possible, grab a couple of similar ones by different authors to see their methods.
And, you can always post your code in the Programming forum and tell us the problem you are having and we can try to help you solve it. |

Hi Lynne,
Thats what ive been trying to do, however without any luck! The mod I want to create is when a member increases in rank they get a message pop up on their screen. Theres a simlar mod created which sends a PM, so ive been trying to look out how to change it from sending a PM to sending a popup - but without much luck at the moment! |

I've found that the best way is to start out with something simple and work your way up.

Thanks. By that would you say the mod im looking to create is a bit too complex for a beginner?

It really just depends on your experience coding.

Doing a pop-up is javascript. So, you'd want to use the same trigger they use in the modification you downloaded, but you'd need to add some javascript to the template when the promotion happens. That could be a bit difficult for a beginner if you are unfamiliar with how to add javascript to a page (you can google "javascript pop-up" and I'm sure you'd get the code).

Hi Lynne,
I was reading p on javascript the other day, especially use of the pop up box. The only problem is the mod I was going to try and alter does not use any templates, so I would be unsure of where I would need to add the code. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...highlight=rank |
