Hi everyone,

I want to create a new feature for vBulletin, nothing advanced, just 1 page, that will upgrade/downgrade user groups.

Im not interested in using existing products/plugins/hacks, i want to create my own.

Do i create this as a plugin or as a product?

And how do i create it as a plugin or product?

To summerise:

I want to create 1 new vbulletin page (accessible by members only), with just a form in it, and some php code that will change a users 'usergroup'.

e.g: a user is given a password, they access my custom page, input the password, and if successful their usergroup is changed. If unsuccessful, there usergroup is unchanged.

I then want to create this as a plugin or product so other vBulletin members can download and install it.

Any advice and tips would be extremely appricated!!!
Thanks
Daz

any ideas how to create my custom page into a plugin ?

Thanks to any reply in advance!
Daz

Look in the Articles section for "vBulletin-powered pages". Also, enable Debug Mode, it will allow you to see developer functions.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
