TECK, check PlurPlanet's new "hack" in the Full Releases forum (seems more like a bunch of hacks packed together). He blatantly uses parts of both vbIndex and vbHome without giving due credit.

I sent TECK a PM about that hack. I guess the code he used for the latest thraeds and news was ripped from vBhome without permission. Along with chunks of origional code he isn't allowed to post and a load of other hacks he probably doesn't have the right to include in there.

Heres the link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=44691

well guys, i really dont care anymore.
when i released vbHome for the first time, people thought.. wow is cool.. but hey, wait.. i will ripp some other hacks toghether and release "a better" version then TECK's.. hihi, i will show off my ripping skills...

let them be happy. people who want a serious piece of code will always choose vbHome (lite).

ahh i forgot, plur's hack, have in the installer the record number of
37,906 queries, that's thirty-eight thousands!!!!
not that is bad... but is the first time i see a such large number of queries performed in one shot. :)

marsh, i will post your hack with a minor change ok?
to have it done properly...

Humm, well, I underestimated myself, and I got it to work.

Open vbHL index.php
Find:
BELOW, add:
Then open the home_threadbits template and add:

It'll look something like this:

marsh, i added the link to first post and made the right corrections. i want you guys in the feature to make a zip file, encrypted with the member password, if it shows a larger code change, not like the one above.

is the best way for now to protect the code copyright. thanks.

hey teck, this VirtuaNews script is really great, thanks for the hint, pretty expensive though :(

well you wanted a pro version. other similar scripts that do less then that charge 800$ for it.
btw, vBulletin is more expensive then VirtuaNews, so i dont see why you call it expensive?

smoothie, it looks that my tips to optimise your global.php, help you fix the problem you had with the extra queries performed.
you are back to 16queries now while logged in... it looks solid.

congrats. :)

Teck-

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)

nice hack..... why all the password and stuff???? I can understand keeping the code in licensed party hands... but I jsut wanted to try it out on my test board... but I cant do that cause thats not my licensed board?!!?

ol well... nice work anyways
