Hooks are the heart of MyBB plugins —
Code: PHP
$plugins->add_hook('pre_output_page', 'my_func');
is where everything starts.

Remember: _activate() should be reversible, _install() owns permanent structures.

xmlhttp.php is the cleanest way to add AJAX endpoints to MyBB.

Any tips, experiences or strong opinions welcome.

I did a bit of searching but could not find a recent thread on this, so here we go.

Whitelist-based hooks debugging in class_plugins.php helped me a lot.

Nice plugin, testing it on my dev board now.

Interesting — I will have to try that.

The gid=0 trick keeps plugin settings out of the ACP — neat.

Always call rebuild_settings() after changing settings programmatically.

Thanks for sharing, saved me a lot of time.

I disagree slightly, but I can see where you are coming from.

Good point, I had not thought of it that way.
