But, for example, if you want develope your own hack, you need to know XML, for your files..
I don't know XML, but I've seen that it is used in alot of vB files.

All (most) XML that is needed to write a modification is generated for you. No XML knowledge needed at all.

And the most common use for handwritten XML is the cpnav and bitfield xml-files, and those are very simple files that you can easily create by copying and editing an existing file without XML knowledge.

What you mean with "is generated for you"?

the XML you find for templates, products, plugins, are generated by vBulletin itself when you export the tools you create... we, coders, never have to touch them really.

as i can tell by being a guru for a lot of useless things, i can tell you that when you are not into design, you need to know PHP with some OO twist, and MySQL when you explore database extractions... otherwise, PHP itself is enough...

i'm into design too, so i had to learn and apply a lot of XHTML/CSS2/3 before calling myself a cool designer...

and i find AJAX/Javascript very obscur...

Yes, but I think you should know CSS, anyway, becouse is the image-late of the project.. and without that, you can be the best coder, but if your site come without a simple scheme, a simple image-late.. it's bad to see!

I have found I can make changes on large scale in the XML outputs vs. edit each template, phrase, plugin, admin help, install/uninstall code within vBulletin AdminCP. (search and replace)

I also use Araxis Merge on XML's for quick view of changed data and migrations.
It's also easy to add phrases, plugins, templates, ect ... within the XML plugin/product.

I split screen SQL dump, PHP , XML product all the time.
