Have you taken a look at the manual? The Plugin Manager Basically all you are doing with a plugin is inserting your code at the location of the hook. So, if you pick to use the hook "forumdisplay_start", then you are inserting the php code you put in the plugin at the location of the "forumdisplay_start" hook which is around line 111 in the forumdisplay.php page (look for this line: ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumdisplay_start')) ? eval($hook) : false; )

Thank you Lynne. I never knew there was a plugin manager manual, but will certainly take a look.
I have some wonderful ideas that i can hopefully soon put in to production to help out all the vbulletin members

There are also a ton of user written articles in the Articles forum. If you have some time, take a look through some of them.
