Judging by the thread rate, we are not gaining any fans...none the less, these are origional hacks, and looking at the last few threads and posts in here, probably as welcome as a headcold.
(karma..etc..)

Anyways, to make the mood hack a bit more functional, and add some user flare, i added a few things to it.
(attachment 1)
The first pic, will be of course the mood hack form itself.
Im pretty sure, that those who do want this hack, and have been following its progress, noticed i added a comment section.
Now, with this comment section, is the needed security of blocking html tags, and html period. Also, it will not include any bbcode, or smiley code. TEXT ONLY!. Do not ask me to change it around, because it is for the better, that it remain text only.
If you start letting people post html in that area, you are asking for trouble. Since it works primarily off a pop up set up, i will not include the bbcode either. I have noticed when users get familiar with the text size and other aspects of bb, they abuse the hell oout of it, and tend to throw your board, tables, and posting areas completely out of whack, thus, why i will not include it in this.

(attachment 2)

Attachment 2 includes a screen shot of the post bit area. You will notice at the bottom, there is a button named "mood". click on that, and you will now see (attachment 3).

All and all, i think it is a nice way, of keeping the users familiar with each other, and a sort of communications device, to keep your forums, and posts clean of topics such as "i am online, and will be until blah, give me a shout..pm me...etc..."

Ok, on with the pics. :)

he does have that option. you can choose to add the mod functions script to your board, or not add it to your board. Its that simple.

I do not see the need to have the option, for the user to include the mod script in this hack, to the upload section, and than make a option somewhere else, to decide whether or not mods get to use the option or not...

Basically, if you want your mods to have the power to delete the pics, and all of that stuff, add the mod script he has included with the hack.

If you do not want mods to have this power, than do not add the script.

Personally, i wouldnt give mods that power. Everyone has a difference in tastes and opinons, and there are some things that since you are held responsible as a administrator to control (IE. bad content...vulgar displays..etc.) you should take it into your own hands, otherwise it is quite possible, if one mod finds a pic to be offensive, when 99.9% of your members do not, than it is quite possible that your choice in mods was questionable.

are you gonna charge money for this hack? if not i'd love to include it in my upcoming site. Would save me lots of time remaking it.

which part mrlister.. or all of them?

Upload Script, Mood Hack, Pop up Buddy List? User Profile... ?

Just curious..

my script will be free. the Upload Script that is... even though I have spent a lot of time on it... hell I spent a lot of time on the f.a.q and other files to go along with it.. so I might as well :)

continue this disucssion in the new thread that theflow fixed up for us if you could please. Could a mod lock this one up?

just the mood and upload hack plz.

they are all free for now with high stipulations and warnings about modifying the hacks or offshoots of the hacks without our permission.

well obviously.. just wondering you said they are all free for now. so you'll be charging for vbulletin hacks in future.

anything is possible. these were not throw together hacks that took a couple of minutes. even though in theory they are relatively simple, there is alot of work to them, which also means that if we are giving this stuff away, we do not want to see them in any way shape or form, redone, and than thrown back up here as a repackaged hack undersomebody elses name.
For any reference to that, check out most of tubedogs hacks, and you will get a idea of what he goes through every time he releases something. (people swiping bits and pieces off him, than releasing something under thier name)

Some people do not realize, or understand that a idea is a idea, and execution of that idea takes a great deal of time, and i wanted to point it out one more time, because somewhere you had said, that if you had to buy these hacks, you would just go make your own.

well, until now, i have not seen a upload hack, or a mood hack of any kind here, so that also means that they are origional hacks, which if there are any offshoots or sudden releases of these hacks before we actually get them up here ourselves, that is basically ripping us off, so yes, i tend to get a little weery about people who comment that "if they have to buy them, they will make their own"

As far as the pay hacks go, who knows..maybe sometime down the road we may charge..i do not know that for sure, so i left that answer a basic open door, in case it did come to be, we needed to charge for a hack, previous statements would not be contradictory to any comments about providing nothing but free hacks. We have never implied either until a question was asked about the pay status of the mood hack, and uploader, by yourself, in this very thread.

Down Big Fella.

just making valid points is all :)

im not trying to sound like a ass, or trying to be one..even though its probably coming out that way. :)

well now you mention it :)

I will most likely release my upload script this Friday. If not sooner..

I am going through the installation.txt file that I slapped together the other day to make sure it makes sense, so that others will understand it and have a safe installation. :)

As for selling up the hacks.. to me.. that will be more of a customized request hack. Where someone might want something done and will pay for it.. in my eyes. I don't mind giving away hacks.... a lot of others do.. even though there is a few things that I need some help with that I would like to see someone help me with... kind of like I help you out, you help me out.. :)

anywhoo... mrlister.. webhost.. everybody.. I will release the upload hack sometime between tonight when I get off work, till Friday.

I want to re-run through a few things.. but for the most part it is done.

I must be going blind, because the only reason i made the mood hack, is because synx requested it...now..im not going to get in a argument over it, because the mood hack is going to be released for free, and since i have provided screen shots (close to 30 now) it would be ripping me off.
Source code or not.

Cant you just wait? i mean, i have a week, and its going to be released. Add ons, as Brad stated, are custom requests, which if they are really involved, we will charge very little for them (5-$20.00) if that...most of our stuff will go for free...
You are making a issue out of nothing here man...
This mood hack, has close to two months of testing, and three differnt versions of documentation, install scripts and add ons...so i would take it extremely personal if you decided to go run and make one of your own, especially after i have it already done.

We dont slap shi* together, that is why i havent released it yet. The simple fact of the matter is, it is done, it needs documentation, and than it will be released. I will not be pressured by anyone, to prematurley release anything that i am not comfortable about.

As stated, this hack has been installed on now four different servers, two different versions of vb, and of course, has went through major changes since i first introduced it.
I could of released it, when it was just some smiley faces, but i didnt, because after all, there were things that i wanted to add to it, and it would not of been fair to the people that downloaded it, to now add on even more stuff, two days later...that was my point. In this thread, i stated that i would give myself a deadline, and that would be that. Well, this friday, or saturday depending on my scedule at work, will determine when its released, but it will be this week, so sit tight man, and just calm down.

The plain fact of the matter is, i know people want it, and they will get it. BUT, it will be done rite the first time, and will not be a hack with thirty pages of "this dont work, or this dont work"

Sorry to say, but pride of my work, determines the outcome of the hack.
It is a pretty involved little hack, with alot of changes made to it, so at least do me a favor, and just wait ok?

i'm not making a issue i just think it's wrong to charge ppl for hacks. hacks are add-ons like maps to a game. you wouldn't charge money for a map to a game when somebody else will make it for free.

hacks take work, work and be free or pay.

Long story made short.

Free hacks everyone will take, Hacks that cost money! People will decide if they want to pay for. What the hell is wrong wirh that?

Nothing I see

Let me explain what I am thinking on this.. guys/gals :)

when I say... there will be a cost for a hack... it will be one that I make custom for someone... I don't mean or intend making hacks like the upload hack, or any other thing that pops up in my head and try to resell them. If I choose to create hacks or release hacks they will be free. It is when I am asked to make something for someone that takes a lot of time and energy to do it right.

So I don't expect anything from scripts like the upload script or anything. But like was said, if we would choose to sell them, then that is our right... anyone can make a hack and release it... or they can buy one from someone... like the Karma hack.. I myself am getting frustrated with trying to make a personal copy for myself, but I don't want to pay for it.. so I am left with a dilema... keep trying till I get it! :)

the last time i checked, everybody had a mind of thier own, and i thought that was the basic idea of capitalism, and the very foundation this country strives on economically or otherwise, however, maybe in the two months it took to get the mood hack to where it is now.... to give away for free, communism may have taken over.

ok ok.. be gentle... this is my first time.. :)

I released it.. the upload script

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...threadid=27475

Did anything ever get finished with this hack?

Somethings are destined never to be finished :)

I mean yes I have my version of it done, which is being re-coded this weekend. To minimize templates, code, and all that..

but I will probably never release it for the pure fact that it is going to be based on and around my site.. so the information may be different from what any and everyone else might want.. and I am not really in the mood to make everything optional..

So is this hack now available as i have seen it on other sites??

So... what happened to this hack? it looked very promising..

oops.. here it is i think https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=mood+hack
