lol, easy hack?

[EasyTarget]

A hack that will add a 'rebuild bitfields' link or something in the admincp.

[cinq]

Open cpnav_vbulletin.xml in your includes/xml folder.

FIND

<navoption debug="1" displayorder="40">
<phrase>rebuild_bitfields</phrase>
<link>index.php?do=buildbitfields</link>
</navoption>


REPLACE WITH

<navoption displayorder="40">
<phrase>rebuild_bitfields</phrase>
<link>index.php?do=buildbitfields</link>
</navoption>

lol you should release this as a hack as there's many new users that could benefit, and many coders who wouldn't have to keep telling people how to do it.

silly question: Why is that useful? What's it purpose? :nervous: :o

[Andreas]

Normally, it is not be necessary to manually rebuild bitfields (although older hacks say this, it should not be necessary for vBulletin 3.5.1+)

Can you pleeease explain me what rebuild bitfields is though? :nervous:

[Andreas]

Well, it rebuilds the bitfield cache ... bitfield_xxx.xml files => datastore 'bitfields'

Oh. I just understood that I will not understand that easily so let's leave it for now :p
