Introducing the MyBB Plugin Builder & phpBB Extension Builder — official tools by Sir‑Vigu

📣 What are these?
Two friendly, step‑by‑step desktop apps that let anyone create a real, working
add‑on for their forum — no PHP knowledge required.
- MyBB Plugin Builder → generates a standards‑compliant MyBB 1.8 plugin (hooks, settings, templates, language files).
- phpBB Extension Builder → generates a valid phpBB 3.3 extension (events, config settings, templates, ACP module).
Both produce a ready‑to‑install ZIP that drops straight into your board’s root folder.
✨ MyBB Plugin Builder
- Guided wizard: Basics → Settings → Hooks → Templates → Languages → Generate.
- Built‑in tooltips + help panel on every screen.
- Friendly input validation (function names, setting keys, versions…).
- Generates _info / _install / _activate / _uninstall lifecycle, hooks, settings, templates and language files.
- Packages everything into inc/plugins/… + a ZIP with README + install guide.
- Sample plugins included, and you can save/load projects as JSON.
✨ phpBB Extension Builder
- Guided wizard: Basics → Events → Settings → Templates → Languages → Generate.
- Subscribes to real phpBB events (the equivalent of hooks).
- Creates composer.json, ext.php, event listener, services.yml, migrations and an ACP settings module.
- Template events, language files, and a ZIP ready to extract into your board root.
- Sample extensions included, and you can save/load projects as JSON.
⬇️ Get the download
- Both tools are available as an easy Setup.exe (installs with Desktop + Start Menu shortcuts + uninstaller, no admin needed) or a portable .exe (just double‑click).
- They run 100% offline — nothing is sent anywhere.
- Contact me through the button above (or the link below) and I’ll get you the latest official build.

🛠️ Quick start (60 seconds)
- Open the builder and fill in your add‑on’s name (author defaults to Sir‑Vigu, site to data-forums.com).
- Add a hook/event (e.g. show a banner on every page) or a setting (e.g. a footer message).
- Click Generate → a ZIP appears.
- Extract it into your forum root, then enable it in the Admin CP
(MyBB: Configuration → Plugins · phpBB: Customise → Extensions).
💡 Why you’ll love it

- Standards‑compliant output that follows MyBB / phpBB best practices.
- Safe — all user text is escaped, so quotes and $ signs never break the code.

- Free for personal & community use.
