MyBB Community Forums

Hi,

I developed a small plugin for my community's forum. The plugin is the following:
http://casualbananas.com/forums/donationbar.php

Currently I included it into my index page by inserting a iframe. I'd like to actually make it work like a plugin. Could someone please explain me how I could include that into a template using a {<name>}, no idea what it is called.

Could anyone help me with this?

You need to add a hook into specific area with that variable as function name.

See plugin hooks:

http://docs.mybb.com/MyBB_Plugin_Hooks.html

I have found the page before but I don't really seem to understand what it does.
http://docs.mybb.com/Plugins-The_Hook_System.html
That's what I need, isn't it?
Could you explain me what I could do?

Have a look at this mod. There you can see everything you need.

Note that you should know some php and html in order to code plugins.

<?php


error_reporting(E_ALL);
define('IN_MYBB', 1);
require "./global.php";

add_breadcrumb("Donation Bar", "communitystats.php"); 


	$goal = 250;
	$banana_price = 0.001;
	$adjustment = 35.17;
	
$db->connect;

	if(date('m') + 1 > 12)
		{
		$year_start = date('Y');
		$year_end = date('Y') + 1;
		}
	else
		{
		$year_start = date('Y');
		$year_end = date('Y');
		}
	
	if(date('d') >= 19) 
		{
		$month_start = date('m');
		$month_end = date('m') + 1; 
		}
	else
		{
		$month_start = date('m') - 1;
		$month_end = date('m');
		}
	
	$query = "
		SELECT 
		(SUM(amount) * ".$banana_price.") AS db_amount
		FROM
		dsHz5_buycredit_logs
		WHERE
		time > ".strtotime($year_start."-".$month_start."-18")."
		AND
		time < ".strtotime($year_end."-".$month_end."-19")."";
	
	$result = $db->query($query);
	
	if($db->num_fields($result) >= 1) {
		 $rows=$db->fetch_array($result);
		$amount = $rows['db_amount'];
		 }else{
			 $amount = 0;
		 }
		 
	$percentage = round(((($amount+$adjustment) * 96.6 / 100) / $goal) * 100);
	if($percentage >= 100) {
		$percentage = 100;
		$string = "Goal reached";
	}else{
		$percentage = round(((($amount+$adjustment) / $goal) * 96.6 / 100) * 100);
		$string = $percentage."%";
	}

	?>
    </ul>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

This is my code, I know it's shitty-written, I just started doing PHP and I'll have to clean up my code, move some PHP to MySQL because of it's speed, and these kind of things.

Could you please explain me what I'd have to do for this?
Or are there guides about how to create plugins?
