Hacking vB 3.5.0

[Logikos]

Since there is no way to add a hook to the "/admincp/ ". I have no choice to hack the admincp/forum.php file to show the option. So i'm going to use this:


print_input_row($vbphrase['forum_home_icon'], 'forum[forumhomeicon]', $forum['forumhomeicon']);


But i can't figure out how to define 'forumhomeicon'. Thats the row name in the forum table. So i get this error:


Fatal error: Field forumhomeicon is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in \includes\class_dm.php on line 484


Any ideas?

Open /includes/class_dm_forum.php

Find:

var $validfields = array(
'forumid' => array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_INCR, VF_METHOD, 'verify_nonzero'),
'styleid' => array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO, 'if ($data < 0) { $data = 0; } return true;'),
'title' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_YES, VF_METHOD),
'description' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO, '$data = convert_to_valid_html($data); return true;'),
'options' => array(TYPE_ARRAY_BOOL, REQ_AUTO),
'displayorder' => array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO),
'replycount' => array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO),
'lastpost' => array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO),
'lastposter' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO),
'lastthread' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO),
'lastthreadid' => array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO),
'lasticonid' => array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO),
'threadcount' => array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO),
'daysprune' => array(TYPE_INT, REQ_AUTO, 'if ($data == 0) { $data = -1; } return true;'),
'newpostemail' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO, VF_METHOD, 'verify_emaillist'),
'newthreademail' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO, VF_METHOD, 'verify_emaillist'),
'parentid' => array(TYPE_INT, REQ_YES, VF_METHOD),
'password' => array(TYPE_NOTRIM, REQ_NO),
'link' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO), // do not use verify_link on this -- relative redirects are prefectly valid
'parentlist' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_AUTO, 'return preg_match(\'#^(\d+,)*-1$#\', $data);'),
'childlist' => array(TYPE_STR, REQ_AUTO)
);

You need to add forumhomeicon to that list :)

** HUGS BRAD ** :p Your my hero...

The Forum Manager uses the Forum Datamanager to handle data from table forum and make sure that everything is correct.
But the datamanager does not know anyting about 'forumhomeicon'.
Therefor you get this error.

Although you can edit class_dm_form.php, the preferred way is doing this via a plugin:

hookname = forumdata_start

$this->validfields['forumhomeicon'] = array(TYPE_STR, REQ_NO);

As noted by Mike you can add fields with the forumdata_start hook :)

I did what you said, and i get this Fatal error: Field forumhomeicon is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in \includes\class_dm.php on line 484.
