Writing your first plugin: hooks explained — follow-up

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

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.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.

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

That hooks explanation finally made it click for me.

Thanks for sharing, saved me a lot of time.

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

Always call rebuild_settings() after changing settings programmatically.

That has been my experience as well.

Interesting — I will have to try that.
