Hey guys,

I wanted to know if there is any type of "documentation" for developers yet? Like adding admin-configs, saving them in database, working with templates (which I already figured out myself..) and so on.

have you seen MyBB Wiki and MyBB development section ..
Don't troll me, i'm not dumb! I've checked both of these, but there isn't any "proper" tutorial you can code with. Why would I check thousand lines of code to find one damn variable if I know there is an easier documentation somewhere. Dev. Wiki is <snip>.
No one is trolling you. There's also no need for swearing.

There are many tutorials out there if you search. There are also two official plugins which show you examples of code. Not to mention the 2500+ plugins freely available.

The following references will most likely help you in some way.

OFF TOPIC : it cannot be like learning by heart for preparing exams !! we do scan through several lines everyday on various web sites !!

ON TOPIC : so you just need to find variables - if so see variables - BUT we do not have documentation on how to use each variable ..

Just print $GLOBALS at the point of interest...
