I was just thinking about this earlier today. There should be some type of plugin that would allow to write custom If/Then statements. It would be nice if this were a core feature, enabling it to work any future plugins that would be released in the future, but I understand this could be a daunting task. Even for a team of clever individuals like yourselves.
Would this be too big of a task for the myBB team? Or even a single developer? It would be an amazing plugin to have, creating a whole new array of possibilities for the myBB software. So you want to give an award on registration?
"If user_registration successful, then give_award(award)."
I'm probably combining more than one coding syntax here, but hopefully you all get the idea. So what do you think? Is it possible? Or is it too ahead of our time right now?

Hmm, that's close, but really what I was talking about. What I'm talking about is more like IFTT (

I would try to do this myself, but such a large task requires way more php knowledge than I actually have.
This seems like more than just the ability to write if-then-else statements into templates. It's more like an integration between numerous third party plugins, and however something like "if registration_successful then give_award" shouldn't be declared in templates, which should just contain the html structure.

Well, I'm not saying it strictly has to apply to templates here. This could apply to anything. I suppose you have to make it so that it could read all the variables that are currently being used, then you should be able to assign those variables to an action. So, if a user registers, (I don't know what myBB uses as a variable for registration), then use the myBB plugin to give an award.
I might not be explaining this right. It makes sense in my head, but I don't know too much about myBB or the extent of its functionality.
So basically the plugin hooks system, which has been in MyBB for a long time? There's really no easy way to make it much friendlier. There is a hooks plugin that eases its use a little:

Yes! Something exactly like that! I couldn't think of the right terminology for it. Thank you
