There's only an instance there to be honest:

$l['myalerts_setting_revoke'] = "This is a test for my plugin";

Odd. I'm pretty sure it worked when I last tried it. I'll have to give it another try.

Maybe it's my plugin that doesn't work properly. I'm trying to understand why, even if I put myextension_install() and _uninstall() functions, when I upload the plugin to my test board the plugin list in ACP shows that the plugin is already installed and the only working button is activate/deactivate.

Yeah, it will because of your _is_installed() function as frostschutz said.

Didn't noticed this, thanks euan. Still looking for a solution to the settings "bug" though.

If you send me the whole plugin file I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.

serializing is not bad, it just has "a time and a place" common sense rule where it should be and should not be used.

i use it when i need to store variable data in a single field that i do not need to search on (other then if not null). mybbpublisher v3.x uses serialized data to store status IDs returned from one or more services, so storing the content in a serialized array is simple solution.

Technically it should be avoided if you are trying to normalize your database structure though. Even 2nd Normal Form is against serialized data IIRC.
