Hello,

I am searching for a vBulletin LaTeX hack since 4 days but I didn't find anything, except for phpBB and IPB boards. So I want to know if this kind of hack exists, or what are the modifications to make to adapt the phpBB hack to vBulletin board ? Please help me because LaTeX is quasi indispensable for my forum ! :disappointed:

Thank you ! ;)

What should a LaTeX hack do? (I am familiar with TeX and derivatives, but have not seen any forum integration.)

ps: Googled "vbulletin latex" and saw this:

That is cool.

Yes it's a great job ! It's exactly that I want to have in my forum but I am hopeless at programming. :disappointed:
But if vBulletin boards like physicsforums.com own a LaTeX integration, it can be do also on my board and many others (I know that 3 vbulletin french forums are actually trying to implement the LaTeX language, 4 with mine).

This link is also interesting but I don't manage to do the modifications of the php code. :ermm: Moreover it seems that a previous installation of a LaTeX package is requires so it's not practical for a forum if each members has to install a package.

The software is installed on the server. Perhaps you could contact http://www.scienceforums.net or http://physicsforums.com and see if they will share the hack.
