View Full Version : IDs/Licenses: Lesane Store Hack Add-On

I saw this at FFR. Anyway, it lets users buy the ability to upload a "License", a graphical image displaying stuff about their identity at a forum. They also have them at DeviantArt (an art community). Any help would be greatly appreciated =DDD
Examples:
DA License (called deviantID):

FFR License:

Ask Afterlab, he is the one who make these. I doubt he will give this hack away but ask him anyway.

He said no =P

The ID thing is just $userinfo[userid] or $post[userid] but getting it into an image like that would be more complicated.

wouldnt it be nice if afterlab would give his hacks out...
I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, but I never thought of integrating it with the Store hack.
I have some other ideas to tie into this, I'm going to start on it next week.

Welp, there goes another one of my unique features now available for anyone who has a vBulletin. That's just great.
You don't want me to release it when I'm finished?
If I make a hack I'll share it with people, because realistically I know that it's not going to make any difference to my own forum's membership. Plus the fact that one of the best things about being a part of vB.org is sharing code with other members, and being able to improve your own forums even if you don't know anything about php.
I'm glad most people on here share their stuff, or this place would be dead.

I don't want to get into a large argument over this, but I worked hard on coding my own feature to be something totally unique to vBulletin. I hate the idea that anyone can come in and request it and automatically get it. I worked hard on something that I thought would be a good idea for my members, but than someone comes along and requests it here and they get it, and guess who's left in the dark? It's me. I get nothing.. Now, whenever you release it, everyone will look at my script at my forums and say "Oh it's that hack that JohnWarwick made, who cares".
The same with the Lesane store hack. My store hack isn't his.. It's my own. In fact I had mine before that hack was ever released, but I don't get anything. They come to me and say "Oh can I have that hack for the Lesane Store hack". It pisses me off because I do things to be unique and then I get ripped off by someone who comes along and gets all the credit.
Well, that's the thing - if I made a hack like yours, I'd release it, yet fine tune it and add smaller details that made it unique. Then, on top of that combine it with a unique graphical style that no-one can really copy (unless they rip it, but if their forum becomes popular they're going to get found out).
That way, the hack would be known as yours by everyone, you'd get all of the credit for it. And yet none of the bland and standarised versions of it on the web would be as good. You'd have more members through people knowing more about you and your site, and still have something like no other.
Still, it's your choice.

Ok then, as long as your release is unique apart from mine (at least don't call it a License), then i'm fine with it.
Well, I've never seen your hack - or your board for that matter. I'm making a point not to go there, because I don't want to see what you've already done. I've got an idea for something I want to do, so I'm going to go ahead and complete it - no worries, I won't call it a licence.

I don't have the store idea from you. Shinraonline was the first one with the store, i had the idea from them. They agreed that i used their great idea, so i don't know why you feel like you are ripped off...lol.
Although I'm still going to go ahead and make this hack, I'm not going to release it anymore.
(There are a few reasons for this)
1. Something like this would require a lot of support, and I can think of better ways to use my time.
2. It should make Afterlab happy :banana:
3. If every vB has a diary / licence type hack, it's not so unique and it doesn't have the same effect. (I'm beginning to see your point now :D)

It's cliche for me to say "I'm gonna go learn php" but that's basically what anyone has to do nowadays. Hack support for any hack I like is naught, and most that do get support are used everywhere =P.
I bought some "Sam's Learn PHP in 24 hours"...it'll take me like 98 hours since I'm coding illiterate, but meh...=P. Thanks for...motivating me? ;)
Edit: And afterlab - sorry for raining on your parade :speechless:
When I do this hack, I might send it to a few select people ;)

aw.. guess there is such as hopeless =\
Just to let you all know, I've completed the licence hack (similar to Afterlab's) - testing locally, it's working well.
I probably won't release it because I'm using Logician's conditions, it always complicated things when you have to have them working in conjunction with other hacks.

if you will not release when why did you announcement like that at this thread? It is just not making any sense...
ok whatever, have fun
Edit: After release my first new hack then I ll look at Afterlab's "license" hack to see what few members talk about then work on it and release for public... At least I have a dignity to do that so that members can have it at their forum... Know why? It is call "Community" *gasp* Unheard is it?

Pathetic.
Read my post, not releasing because it's tied in with Logican's conditionals hack.
Perhaps if I get time I'l do an independent version, but I'm really busy at the moment.

please release it, there are some people that want it too (like me)

whatevet you say... few members who look foward to this thread and check then found out that you make a announcement and decide to not release.
Why not make your own thread and make a announcement like at General Hacking forum? It s Seifer's request and he hope someone will help him to get it. Sorry if you think that it is pathetic, I care any less... Public want and they re going to get it. That philosophy lost on many people, also sense of "Community" lost on them too. Do whatever you think it is right. I m happy with my own decision cuz it will make people happy whenever they get their request answer with release hack instead of others. Simple eh?

No, I think it's pathetic you're having a go at me because I don't want to release a hack that'll require more work to make it independent of other hacks. I simply don't have the time at the moment. You've completely missed the point of my first post :rolleyes:
Ok, I have an idea for a hack - and it's much better than the licence alone!
It's quite complex, and it'll take a lot of work. So don't expect it tomorrow or anything, but I will release it once it's finished.
Just out of curiosity, do most people have GD installed on their servers?

Thats my statement at everyone to let them know that license hack is my next project to work on. I never intend to aim my statement at you, John.evoie. You the who use my words against me? I dont know why you decide to twist my words and against me... I made a announcement to "answer" Seifer's request, is there any rule against that? If so, then Xenon can delete my posts if he want to.
I ll not check this thread again until I release License hack. I m going to delivery a hack that Seifer request. Nothing more than that.
Good luck and have a nice day :)

And because I didn't want to spend more time on a single licence hack and release it, I have no dignity. That's what you were implying... Stop being so childish :rolleyes:

seems to be cool, looking foreward to it!
:) - Thanks.
Goldknight, if you're still reading this thread feel free to continue with the licence hack, my hack won't have anything to do with the store hack as per the original request :)

Perhaps I should state my post bit more clear. No, I m not implying that you dont have the dignity. Why should I say like that to you? Well, I hope that you believe me but trust me I m not implying that you dont have one.
It is never about you, I look thur tons of requests and I only wish that all of these requests will somehow answer by elite hackers. I m not elite hacker yet but work on it. I feel bad everytime I come down and look thur their requests, they deserve the best...
I m sorry if I sound like that to you but it is not. My english/grammar is poor at best.

Ok, glad we clear up.
Good luck with your hack :)
Thanks, same to you! :)
I'll be starting a couple of threads on the hacks I'm doing, if anyone wants to suggest new features that they'd like to see in the finihsed thing. (They'll be in the gernal discussion forum)
