Topic: Plugin or mod?

I would like to write a plugin to show any kind of statistics (well, not any, but my fellow admins think about new crazy stuff every day).

I would love to incorporate this as a plugin (and share it of course) because I love the simplicity of design but it might be necessary to extend the database for some functions.

So, will I write a mod?
Or a plugin?
Or both? (Write a mod for the database logging and a plugin for the stat output?)

Maybe this is a dumb question but the plugin doc I found wasn't clear about it.....
And being new to punBB (great code by the way smile ) I don't want to mess around with structures that are convenient for everybody.

Re: Plugin or mod?

well use a plugin to show any stats in the database, then do a mod if you need to save extra stuff to the database, basically plugins are just to give admin/mods extra access to the database
