In the admin panel of vb3 is a place to run sql queries from, ... not as robust as phpmyadmin but good for experienced users.

In vb2, there is a hack from chen I believe that does this.

[trafix]

Its probibly not a good idea af i think it would become a security risk

[blakkboy]

where is this hack located........???

because i have way to many hacks to upgrade at the moment and i would like to implement this in my board

Please do not bump or in your case "up" or "uppin" your posts, memebers of this board, will read your posts and respond as they can if they have something to say, With regard to where the "hack is located" Reeve was refering to the release of VB3 not a hack for VB2.x. The statement as been made that PHPmyAdmin may be a security risk to integrate into the Control pannel, I personally have in installed under my Admin section and also have the directoy password protected. It is not a hack just a link to access the standard phpMyAdmin.

Just use the link to your myphpadmin from the Admin CP. That's all you need to do.

[blakkboy]

well lets just assume that im totally a newb for modifying my forums......

please make a dummies guide to linking and securing phpmyadmin in my admin panel

[Boofo]

In admincp/index.php, find:

construct_nav_option($vbphrase['vbulletin_options'], 'options.php?null=0', '<br />');

below it add:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 1)
{
construct_nav_option('phpmyadmin', 'http://path/to/phpmyadmin/index.html', '<br />');
}
