Thank you for this, I would really like this to be built into myBB in a future version. Or something that makes it this easy.

edit: as part of the $form object

Pretty sure I already said that. Twice.

And you can actually gain access to the form object as a setting in a plugin by utilizing the PHP type without the need to make any edits to core files (which I also mentioned).

Making the changes through patches is more work for the user. I'll share my method for generating the boxes solely in plugins when I'm next at a computer. It's not eloquent, but it works for the most part.

i did not read your first reply as saying the functions were actually there, just really close to being there, "practically built into MyBB" you said.

for some reason I did not see you last post and i originally replied via the quote button so I never made it to the end of the page, then once I replied, I ignored the posts above it since i thought I had read it all

I actually do this quite often with plugins. It isn't that hard to generate but it would be handy if it did exist in the core.
