Has anyone ever had the time to write a txt file on the basics of vB board hacking? Like how it works, where things are read from, how the pages are put together, etc.
Of course if you have a good knowledge of php and SQL you're pretty much already there - but I meant for those just starting out in both fields and need info aimed at hacking vB boards.
Nope. the way I learned was to just look around the templates and go through all the code.. there is no real way to teach someone how to hack vbulletin.. due to the fact that it would be just like teaching php which takes time... but here is your first lesson $bbuserinfo[] can get any row from the user table.. example $bbuserinfo[usertitle]
The $session and $bbuserinfo arrays are not the same, $session holds the session info of the user taken from the session table, and $bbuserinfo holds the user info and options taken from user/userfield tables.
