Can someone explain to me just about everything in the hello.php plugin? I'm thinking about maybe starting to make basic, but helpful, plugins but I don't know where to start. If you're to lazy, here's the hello.php plugin code:

}

$plugins->add_hook("pre_output_page", "hello_world");
$plugins->add_hook("postbit", "hello_world_postbit");

function hello_info()
{
	return array(
		"name"			=> "Hello World!",
		"description"	=> "A sample plugin that prints hello world and changes the content of each post to 'Hello world!'",
		"website"		=> "http://www.mybboard.net",
		"author"		=> "MyBB Group",
		"authorsite"	=> "http://www.mybboard.net",
		"version"		=> "1.0",
	);
}

function hello_activate()
{
}

function hello_deactivate()
{
}

function hello_world($page)
{
	$page = str_replace("<div id=\"content\">", "<div id=\"content\"><p>Hello World!<br />This is a sample MyBB Plugin (which can be disabled!) that displays this message on all pages.</p>", $page);
	return $page;
}

function hello_world_postbit($post)
{
	$post['message'] = "<strong>Hello world!</strong><br /><br />{$post['message']}";
}
?>

Thank you

Now that was funny. In case "we're" too lazy to look at that plugin to help you, you posted it...instead of just saving time and doing a search?? Sorry, but that just struck me as funny.

When you think about it, it is pretty funny. Bah, I'll try and search next time.
