This mod is an adaptation of the Marco's mod ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108567 ) because there is some little things changed and added some new things too. Thank you for allow me to re-release it , Marco ;)

MD5 Version File Generator - Version 2.0.1

Hack: MD5 Version File generator
Version: v2.0.1
Author: MarcoH64
Adapted for vB 3.6.8+ by Pitchoune (PitchouneN64ngc)
vB Version: 3.6.8 - 3.8.x (can work but will be more useful since vB 3.6.8 due to the added things).

For lower versions of vBulletin, you can see the original 1.0.0 mod here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108567).

You can see this function in the vB3.5.4 release announce thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...9&postcount=16 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1079119&postcount=16)

Description
This Modification is a tool for Hack Coders.

Since vB version 3.5.4 there is an improved File Version checker included as part of the diagnostics. All files in the forumhome directory will be checked if they are know and if the content is not changed.

To do this vBulletin uses a file called ./includes/md5_sums_PRODUCTID.php
This file contains all known files (for the hack the file is written for) and a MD5 hash of the files.

If you don't supply this file, admins will be warned for unknown files in their forumhome directory if you hack upload new files there. To create such a file by hand is not easy, but this hack can do it for you.

Since vB 3.6.8, there is a new add in the md5 files, you can look to it at the end of the official addons md5 files like this:

$md5_sum_softwareid = 'vbprojecttools';
$md5_sum_versions['vbprojecttools'] = '1.0.1';

This new version adds these 2 lines for you.

An other new thing is to adapt this modification to your configuration. If your admincp and/or modcp directories didn't have the default values (admincp or modcp), when you're saving files, it will be checked correctly, and the default values will be registered.

And it's the same thing when you generate the md5 file (it will create the md5 value from your configuration, and it will write in the file
the default values with the correct md5 of your configuration).

How to use:
AdminCP->Plugin & Products->Version File Manager
You will see a list of all Products installed on the board.
Click edit behind your Product and on the next screen, place all files that will be uploaded for your Hack in the text box. Each on their own line, with a absolut path as from the forumhome directory.
When you are ready to package and release your product, choose Generate MD5 File from the Dropdown menu.
There will now a new file be generated in your includes directory named md5_sums_PRODUCTID.php
Include this file in your Product zip-file (upload/includes directory).
FinishedYou must have write access to your ./includes directory!
Not tested on systems with open_basedir restriction.

Example generated file:

<?php
// Checksum file
// Product: mh_md5gen - MD5 Version File generator
// Version: 2.0.1
// File generated by: $RCSfile: mh_md5gen.php,v $ - $Revision: 2.0.1 $
// Generator: MD5 Version File generator by MarcoH64 and PitchouneN64ngc (c)

$md5_sums = array(
'/admincp' => array(
'mh_md5gen.php' => '307d51647c2197abbfc458b9832876cf',
),
'/includes/xml' => array(
'cpnav_mh_md5gen.xml' => 'c4f6879267d161e7bd87a19302446fd2',
),
);
$md5_sum_softwareid = 'mh_md5gen';
$md5_sum_versions['mh_md5gen'] = '2.0.1';

I was wondering, is it possible to create the MD5 for uploaded files to my forums, then if that file gets posted else where, ill know if it has been leaked.

That would be a completely different type of addon.

Is there such an addon on vb.org? I tried looking but not sure if im searching for the right thing.

I haven't seen one. This is for people creating their own addons.

There is a little bug:
Your addon will calculate the md5 checksum from the binary stream (the whole file).
VBulletin will calculate the md5 checksum from the content itself.

And here is the problem:
When your files are in Windows format, your calculated md5sum wouldn't match the vBulletin one. Your files need to be in UNIX format.

I'll see that, I don't have changed the way to generate MD5 sum from the original version :)

Changelog for 2.0.1 release:
vBulletin changes the way to create MD5 values of files in vB 3.6 (old: md5_file. new: md5(str_replace("\r\n", "\n", file_get_contents(DIR . $directory . '/' . $file))). I didn't notice that. Now the system checks correctly all files.
Added 2 errors messages:
When you try to create a MD5 file without any files in the product informations,
When the system can't create the file (permissions not enough to create the file).A mod could move it in 3.8 if possible? This is entirely compatible 3.6-3.8.

It works just fine on 4.2.2. I think you might need to edit the vbulletin dependency in the xml file to install it though.

hm... interesting, I did edit the dependency prior to submitting, but it doesn't appear anywhere in the admincp at all.

Yes, I quite understand where it's SUPPOSED to appear.. but it Doesn't.

As you can see from the pluginlist on the right, it's installed. As you can see from the plugins & products there is no linky love there...

In fact if you go into admincp>options>show all settings> it doesn't appear in there either. (Btw, I'm using PL4)
