Thanks a lot

No problem.

working on 4.1.3 Thanks........

Hey.
It is so.


As to make in one line?



Thanks.

work with vBulletin® Version 4.1.4 ?

Installed on 4.1.5 , working great thanks

Works in 4.1.7

Hi,
there is an Easyer Way to Remove the Versions Info.
Edit the Phrase vbulletin_copyright
And Remove

is this the same as buying the branding free option?

No as branding free option will remove all mentions of Vbulletin from your forum. This one will still show "Powered by vBulletin?" .....only the version number is hidden.

Yes, that's the way I did it as well.

That would not hide the version at the templates and it can be seen at the page source.

I dont think this is working on vB4.1.7
With this Mod I get an error on the usercp page.

I don''t think so. This mod doesn''t touch anything remotely connected with the usercp page.

I re-installed the mod again to get the error and post it here. I confirmed this again is this mod giving me error when I click on the UserCP or go to the usercp.php file

installed on 4.1.7 PL2 works well so far will test a bit as well

no problems at all thanks

Nice Mod....
Thanks..marked installed...

Installed it and it's working fine on vBulletin v4.1.8

What a wonderful way to stop script kiddies.

Not really
IF anyone knows their vb stuff they would just go to:
http://www.yoursiteurl.com/admincp/index.php

And then it would tell them which version they are using.
This modification doesn't hide that part there.;)

Or:


There are plenty of places this doesn't catch, if you know where to look. Do a search for simpleversion or templateversion in the templates.

Installed, thank you.

If the admin of www.yoursiteurl.com know their stuff then the only thing that appears there is a small popup where you have to enter the user and password from the htaccess protection :)

Sounds interesting, please tell me how to do such a thing.

I can make it for you if you wish but will need some info in private. You can try yourself first if you wish

You need a .htpasswd and a .htaccess file.
Check if you can store the .htpasswd file outside the www root folder if possible. This depends on your host.

More information here: http://www.htaccesstools.com/articles/htpasswd/
Or just google for "htpasswd protection"

Setup a different user/password combination than your forum user.

so e.g. your vb admin user is
user: admin
password: vbulletin123
then choose this for your htpasswd protection:
user: techguru
password: methinks
Don't use the same login because then it is useless!


The .htaccess file goes into the /admincp folder (note the leading '.' which is important to hide the file)
The .htpasswd file goes in the best case outside of the folder that is accessible from outside. But you can also store it in the /admincp folder. (also note the leading '.')


Why doing this? If someone gets hold of your admin login then they still cannot login into your admincp!
You can / should do the same with the /modcp folder. But setup a different user / password combination there.

Doesnt work for 4.1.0

it does am using it myself

It doesnt for me

I'm on 4.1.10 and it works for me too.

I did have it installed ages ago though but it's stayed working through upgrades of VB.

Nice mod, thanx
