very nice hack

[MrNase]

wow, that looks really nice :)

[TheComputerGuy]

Awesome! Thanks for it

[Tigga]

Looks nice. I'll have to check it out later when I get some extra time. :)

[Dan]

ooo purty :D I'll try it out soon and maybe add it to my hacks I already have :D

[Erwin]

Interesting. :) Looks simple enough to use.

[DrkFusion]

Interesting. :) Looks simple enough to use. Exactly what I was thinking. The concept of it was over stressed with HTL, this seems pretty simple. I am going to check it out.

[alkatraz]

fantastic thank you!

[Natch]

Wow :) Great job!

[amykhar]

This, I think, I will use. I love hacking, but hate the release process.

If its what I think it is, its a very much needed addition :)

[sabret00the]

great work :)

[nexialys]

cool... i have about 250 hacks in stock, i may switch to this system for the installs once it's released as final...

btw, i was thinking a $vbphrase driven interface would be better... and a cleaner code... if you want someone to help, i will be able to give some times later this week... (for next 2 days it's camping with kids!)

[Xenon]

definitelly have to take a closer look to it.

[Rahzel_hx]

hmm might try it >_< but i will wait longer to see what happens with it ^.^

[Revan]

Can this system insert Admin Help items as well?
I really need that and dont fancy inserting them for my own board then give out a SQL dump as that could cause errors...

The Hack Installer System (HIS) is an HTL-like hack. However, it suceeds in one major place the HTL failed: vBulletin.org compliance.

The HIS is a hacker tool - it does not need a seperate installation. It only needs one database table, which is created automatically the first time the script is ran. Thus, it can be distributed along with your hack as its installer as long as you follow the terms:

You may NOT modify hack_install.php or hack_install_bx.php (where x is the build number) and leave it named as such. If you modify hack_install_bx.php, you should not distribute hack_install.php and instead rename your modified hack_install_bx.php to something entirely different (probably youhackname_install.php). ONLY THE OFFICIAL UNMODIFIED FILES MAY BE NAMED hack_install.php AND hack_install_bx.php. Even if you modify and rename, the original copyright text at the top must remain intact.

Eh, well, I think that is all the terms. Anyways, on to this "hack".

This is based off of the uCash & uShop installer, which was based off of the vBadvanced Homepage 1.01 installer by Tigga (Brian Gunter), used with permission.

All hacks have a folder in install/hacks, which then has a folder for each hack build. Of course, a hack author probably would probably only include the current build, it needs to increase with each new release. All hack information is contained within .php files, with the exception of file/template edits, which is usually an .html file. See the included example files to see exactly how it is done.

Template, phrase, and setting files can be automatically generated based on 3 variables in the main hack file (index.php). The queries file, for obvious reasons, must be done by hand, although that should be pretty easy.

Included are the HIS in one .zip, files for a uCash & uShop install in case you need more of an example, and screenshots.
Wow, I'm going to try this out on my forum, and If I'm inpressed, I'll include the installer with my vb ads hack. :nervous:

Looks good

When installing uShop I get the folowing error at the last step:

Warning: main(./includes/functions_uttstore.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ../install/hacks/uCash_and_uShop/5/index.php on line 79

[Drache]

is this the hack that vbulletin.org is using now? the install hack to track who installed your script?

I'm trying to fix that, but I can't reproduce it on my own.

This is not the standard uCS installer - the installer for uCS assumes you have uploaded the uCS files.

No, this is a hack installer, it doesn't track installs of a hack.

I have never messed with admin help, so I'll check that out later.

Is there some kind of tutorial on how to use this thing? I am so confused on how to use it and I wanted to work on a hack of mine using this installer system.

There's not tutorial, but I did create some example files showing the syntax. A better tutorial should come with build 3 (uploading build 2 now).
