Help me with my first vB add-on

[Love8X]

Hi all,

I am going to create my first vB add-on for my group and needing some helps. Can anyone help me step-by-step?

I had:
- vB hooks list
- programming skill

I need some vB variables name to get:
- the current forum, parent forums, child forums id.
- the current user info. (eg. identifier, permisions...)

My add-on will apply to:
- Admin/Mod CP
- Creating new thread/post action
- Deleting post action

How do I do now?

Thanks.

Some pointers:
- current forum: $forumid, $foruminfo
- current user: $vbulletin->userinfo, (or $bbuserinfo if called from a template)
- current user permissions: $permissions
- current user name: $vbulletin->userinfo['username']
- parent forum ids: $foruminfo['parentlist']
- child forum ids: $foruminfo['childlist']

I am sure there is a tutorial somewhere explaining the basics.

I would suggest you find a mod that does something similar or at least in the area of what you intend to do, and study how they do it...
