As said, this is working as designed :)
It's a developers tool and therefore will not show up for endusers, as pointed out in the first post.

EvilHawk clicks install!

Thank you Kirby

Clicked installed :)

How do you enter debug mode and how do you confirm it's on?

I asked this question at vbulletin.com (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153385) and was told by Steve Machol (a vB developer) that all I have to do is put
anywhere in the config.php file (between the opening and closing PHP tags, of course). I was also told that I would know when it's on.

Well, I put that statement in the config.php of my test board and uploaded it. I looked at the board's front end, seemed normal. I looked at the admin cp, seemed normal. So far, it's not obvious that debug mode is on, although Steve implied it would be.

I tried installing this hack on my test board. It doesn't show up in the admincp. Now apparently it should show up in the admincp if debug mode is on, and it should also be obvious that it's on, but nothing seems different to me. So I figure I must be doing something wrong, and debug mode is not on. What's my problem?

$debug =1 is for vBulletin 3.0
For vBulletin 3.5 take a look here:

Yeah, I found that, I should have searched here first before asking. :o

Anyway, I fixed it and now have access to your hack. Thanks! :)

One suggestion/question: Is it possible you could make it so that after I create a new Phrase Type and have it tied to a particular Product, that when I go through Phrase Manager, select my custom phrase type from the drop-down box, and click the Add New Phrase button, that on the next Add New Phrase screen, the same product that the Phrase Type is associated with when it was created also is pre-selected in the Product field on this Add New Phrase screen? It's pre-set to vBulletin, and to my thinking, it seems likely that if you create a new Phrase Type, any phrases you create for it would be part of the same Product that the Phrase Type was created for.

This is not easily possible without file edits, furtheremore you can add phrases that belog to different products into one phrasegroup

Very nice, now you don't have to do the necessry steps for new phrase-groups manually. But...

I have an own phrase-group for my induvidual modifications. In vB 3.0 I added in the init.php at the end these 3 lines

so I have my phrases everywhere available, same as the standard GLOBAL-phrases.

In vB 3.5 this is not working anymore.

Which PHP I have to modify, to get my individual phrase-group loaded gloabal, so I can use the phrases everywhere ?

Thanks for help.

@JoergZ
Hook init_startup can be used to load phrasegroups

@Rabbitoh Warren
It is intended behaviour that it does not show up if you don't need it!
If you are a developer and need it it will show up.

Ah... Great. Thaks.
