Released: simple shoutbox plugin — follow-up

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

I keep a list of essential plugins and thought I would share it here.

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.

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

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

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

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