Rate limiting a plugin endpoint — follow-up

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

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.

Returning true from a by-value hook replaces the argument; by-reference hooks mutate in place — check the call site.
