Vbulletin plugin development tutorial

Question

I searched for tutorials, but I did not find a useful tutorial. I want to create a simple plugin that will add “123” to the title of each forum page.

I tried to go to admin panel -> create a new plugin. But I don’t know which hook I need to display “123” in the header.

I will be very grateful for any help.

Answer 1

Assuming vBulletin 4 and above:

Create product

• Login to your AdminCP
• Ready-made modules and products → Product Management
• Click Add / Import Product
• On the next screen, enter the name of your product, etc. in the "Add a new product" section (you can leave the product URL and product validation URL blank).

Add plugin to your product

• Go to plugins and products → Add new plugin
• Choose your product
• To add something to the title on each page, select the global hook location global_bootstrap_init_complete

• In the PHP code, enter the following:

  $ template_hook ['mycustommesage'] = 'hello world';

Refresh the header template to include plugin output

• In ACP goto Styles and Templates → Style Manager
• Select the style you want to change and select edit templates
• Open Header Template

• The vibrator you want you to display the output of the plugin adds:

  {vb: raw template_hook.mycustommesage}
