Hi, I created a hacks database such as on vb.org before, the database can be multi-language, in wanted forums, hacks are recorded into their own category in the database, screenshots are displayed if there are, all informations concerning hacks are displayed :

- time for installation
- number of queries
- number of phrases
- templates modifications
- etc .......

An installation system was created to, exactly as on vb.org with updates by mail by the author of the hack, an install/desinstall button ...

I created this because we need it for our site (to distribute our own hacks) and I'd like to release it because it could be usefull not only for hacks, but could be used for others things (tutorials, code modifications for exemple ...)

But .... I don't find a name for this hack
Someone could help ? :nervous:

Why not use "Installed Hacks Database Hack"? Sounds good to me. ;)

I would go with what my man Giveit posted. That sounds better than my suggestion. ;)

Giveit, I think we know some of the same people. Mark, for instance? PM me with your answer. ;)

I think you should go with my suggestion and send me a copy to test as I need to get a stories archive setup ;)

Have PM`d you oh Mysterious Boofomeister.

Can you make a text file for the install, too? I try to stay away from auto installers because sometimes I change code for my own hacks where the installer likes to roam. ;)

The txt file is already done Boofo : 50ko ^^

Tha automatic insallation is only for queries, phrases and new templates ;), other modifications are written to be done

Yes, I`m so lazy when it comes to phrases, templates, etc.. So much nicer to have an installer..

I am looking forward to the release of this hack, sounds like it could be awesome :)

@giveit2u43 : nothing exceptional, only the same system that on vb.org before with multi language if you want ....

@vbdev: if it can do what you say in the first post and save me having to stay up late trying to figure it all out myself then it is indeed very exceptional ;)

Will it add the list of hacks to the coder's profile like it does here? If so, a link with a window of the users who installed the hacks would be great. ;)

Sounds very nice - may I suggest having a variable for what you want it to be a database of ;)

Ok, I added a variable to choose xhick kind of "database" you are using, it automatically change in all phrases

The txt file is already done (for Boofo ;) ), installed on vb3 Gold, no problem (code hasn't really changed :) ) but I have to finish the automatic installation

Should be released in 2 or 3 days maximum
