Help! Plugin / Database / Template coordination - How Do I?

[carcomp]

No i was using a metaphore... Like html... I guess that was a bad metaphore. BBcode would be more like it. I would like to give my users the ability to construct pages themselves. I suppose i'll just write some custom bbcodes to allow things like <tables>, <center> etc.

We run a VERY close membership forum. We have "bashes" where we all meet together. The likelyhood of some loser messing it up is pretty slim. Besides, I didn't think about just slapping it together and sending it online. I want to add the option to approve stuff later on etc. Maybe I feel a Mod coming on?

I certainly don't want you to do the coding for me, but do you know of any examples of something like you stated? I'm very new to how vbulletin works (like the $vbulletin->something-> something stuff). I'm reduced to just looking at php modules that I have already, and the plugins that are active on my site... Reverse engineering them.

I learn this way I guess. I taught myself Visual Basic (see www.mediaengine.org) for my current masterpiece in this fashion.. Looking at what others have done and finding new / better / different ways of doing it the way I want. Like I said though, I'm very new and tend to rely on others for the first 20% sometimes

BTW: I didn't know if it matters to you, but we (as a forum of 7 admins) regularly buy vbulletin licenses. You aren't helping a freeloader.
