thats version 1 of the mod.(i made it)
in the next version I want it to add a menu link. I have not done anything because I am a beginner in MyBB coding, and I do not know where to start.
We need to know WHERE you want it. Different menus are built in different ways. Do you mean a UserCP Menu? And AdminCP Menu?

where it says "Search, Memberlist, Calendar, Help" at the top

Ok, so a toplink then
This is in the header template
To add it from a plugin you need to use the find_replace_templatesets function in your plugin
For example
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/adminfunctions_templates.php";
find_replace_templatesets("header", '#'.preg_quote('<li><a href="{$mybb->settings[\'bburl\']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings[\'bburl\']}/{$theme[\'imgdir\']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>').'#', '<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>WHATEVER YOU WANT TO ADD HERE');
Would go into your activate routine and put the link between member list and calendar
While
require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/adminfunctions_templates.php";
find_replace_templatesets("header", '#'.preg_quote('<li><a href="{$mybb->settings[\'bburl\']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings[\'bburl\']}/{$theme[\'imgdir\']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>WHATEVER YOU ADDED HERE').'#', '<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>', 0);
Would go into your deactivate routine. Now notice how theres an extra field (a 0 for the value) on the removal. Don't forget that or it won't work right.
