MyBB Community Forums

Hi. I'm creating my own Shoutbox plugin. I haven't done much so far and would like to use this as a learning process. I am stuck at one point and aren't too sure where I've gone wrong.

Here is my code

<?php
/*
myBBChangebook
by: cupOcappuccino
http://www.timechangers.com/changebook
Copyright 2011  ChangeBook
*/

if (!defined("IN_MYBB"))
{
  die("You Cannot Access This File Directly.");
}

$plugins->add_hook('pre_output_page', 'mybbchangebook');
//$plugins->add_hook("forumdisplay_start", "mybbchangebook");

function mybbchangebook_info()
{
	return array(
		"name"		      	=> "myBBChangebook",
		"description"		=> "Adds Changebook to the forum",
		"website"		    => "http://www.timechangers.com/changebook",
		"author"		    => "cupOcappuccino",
		"authorsite"		=> "http://www.timechangers.com/changebook",
		"version"		    => "1.0",
		"guid"        		=> "",
		"compatibility"		=> "16*"
		);
		
}


function mybbchangebook_install()
{
	global $db;

	$db->write_query("
		CREATE TABLE ".TABLE_PREFIX."changebook (
			`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
			`message` text NOT NULL,
			`time` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
			`userid` int(10) NOT NULL,
			PRIMARY KEY (id)
		) Type=MyISAM;
	");
}

function mybbchangebook_is_installed()
{
	global $db;

	if($db->table_exists('changebook'))
	{
		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

function mybbchangebook_uninstall()
{
	global $db;
	
	$db->drop_table('changebook');
}

function mybbchangebook_activate()
{
  global $db;
  
  $mybbchangebook_group = array(
      'gid'    			=> 'NULL',
      'name'  			=> 'mybbchangebook',
      'title'      		=> 'myBBChangebook',
      'description'    	=> 'Settings For myBBChangeBook',
      'disporder'    	=> "1",
      'isdefault'  		=> 'no',
  );
    
  $db->insert_query('settinggroups', $mybbchangebook_group);
  $gid = $db->insert_id(); 
  
  $mybbchangebook_setting = array(
      'sid'             => 'NULL',
      'name'            => 'enabled_mybbchangebook',
      'title'           => 'Do you want myBBChangebook Enabled?',
      'description'     => 'If Yes People Can Use myBBChangebook, If No People Cannot Use myBBChangebook.',
      'optionscode'     => 'yesno',
      'value'           => '1',
      'disporder'       => 1,
      'gid'             => intval($gid),
  ); 
  
  $db->insert_query('settings', $mybbchangebook_setting);
  rebuild_settings();
   
}

function mybbchangebook_deactivate()
  {
  global $db;
  
  //Delete the settings
  $db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settings WHERE name IN ('enabled_mybbchangebook')");
  $db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settinggroups WHERE name='mybbchangebook'");
  
  rebuild_settings();

	//Delete templates
	$deletetemplates = array('mybbchangebook_body');

	foreach($deletetemplates as $title)
	{
		$db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."templates WHERE title='".$title."'");
	}
	
}

function mybbchangebook(){
  global $db, $mybb, $templates, $lang, $theme, $collapsed, $collapsedimg;
  
  if ($mybb->settings['enabled_mybbchangebook'] == 1){


$template_posts = "
<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"{\$theme[\'borderwidth\']}\" cellpadding=\"{\$theme[\'tablespace\']}\" class=\"tborder\">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class=\"thead\">
<strong>Changebook</strong>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
<br />";

$template_body = "<tr>
<td class=\"tcat\">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=\"trow1\">
<strong>Response:</strong> <input type=\"text\" name=\"mybbchangebook_message\" id=\"mybbchangebook_message\" size=\"40\" maxlength=\"200\" onKeyPress=\"mybbchangebook_add_enter(event);\" /> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" onclick=\"mybbchangebook_add()\" value=\"Shout\" />
</td>
</tr>";

	echo $template_posts;
	echo $template_body;
  
  }
}

function mybbchangebook_add()
{
	if($mybb->input['action'] == "mybbchangebook_add") {
	$insert_shout = array(
		'post' => addslashes($mybb->input['mybbchangebook_message']),
		'time' => time(),
		'userid' => $mybb->user['uid']
	);
	
	$db->insert_query(TABLE_PREFIX."changebook", $insert_shout);
}
}

?>

What my problem, now, is that my "Shout" button is doing nothing. I can only assume that my

onclick=\"mybbchangebook_add()\"

isn't really doing what I want it to do. What should go there in the place of the mess I've made?

What have I done wrong? Can anyone please help?

You're trying to call a PHP function with an onclick call, it doesn't work like that You put javascript in onclick, so you'd call a javascript function, which would contain an AJAX request, which would then do the PHP you want to do.
