Yes, ALL input from every location is throughly cleaned before it is ever displayed or put into the database. Most of it uses the built-in cleaning capabilities of vbulletin (which is what they are there for, and many times a hack that was removed due to exploitations is because they failed to do this).

This protects it even from remotely created and executed mock pages designed to evade many frontend validations such as html attributes and javascript. #1 rule for security is never trust anything that you output, always validate it again on the side you have control over :) No variable is used unless my script was the one to define it in the same scope.

Seems to be the reason that Icash has been removed, further investigation revealed that stock Icash contains a donate file which doesn't properly clean variables ;/

I'm no php coder but darkwaltz... you're makin a believer out of me. You really seem to know what your doing.

He's almost GOD Like ;)

Hmm what about integrating a hide-hack and having it where you can set how many credits they have to have or give to you for the hidden content to become unhidden?

that is a feature for the shop addon, which i will be adding

im almost done guys :) this update is enormous and more than doubles the power of 1.2. im making everything perfect and seamless and bugtesting right now

also happy to report the plugins are being ported successfully, should hopefully be no file edits to make.

as of this post, you may all remove the file edits to all files EXCEPT functions_databuild.php. the rest are gone. will update in short time. promise! :)

Will ibparcade use be available soon?

Patience is a virtue

Oh man the waiting is killing me. I've never been this excited for a vb modification before.

Dark, did you get my pm?

sorry this is taking a little long.

i have it down to 3 file edits left in functions_databuild.php. they are for undelete_thread, approve_thread, and delete_thread. as plugins they have to appear in like 7 different places... now you know why i initially used file edits :)

but all for the sake of quality. thanks for your patience everyone.

arcade addons are still not ready, focusing on 1.3 right now :)

It's all coming together good, just posting we're still alive, :D

I just tried to install but it got really wierd, the file editing does not seem to be correct with my files... unctions_databuild.php does not seem to be right.

How shall i edit it corectly?

Uninstall everything, filt, and just wait a little longer for version 1.3, since it won't have any file edits. That's my advice, anyway...

Crap! Ok, ill have to uninstall. When is 1.3 expected?

Is this 1.3?

Your behaviour is rude. :mad:

He is making a mod for us to make our life easier. It is not mandatory for him to make this mod.

You must respect his efforts and valuable times he spent for us.

New version 1.3!

How about integration with IbProArcade?

for the tenth time im working on it. in fact on vbcredits.com we have installed v3 arcade, which will also have integration stuff. im gunna go to bed now :)

Thanks for the fantastic upgrade! Donations comming soon your way!

I have heard the news about 1.3. Downloading and installing now...

Is there upgrade instructions? Since there are no file edits now, I would think that there would be instructions for upgrading properly...?

of course there are. in the extras folder, Upgrade 1.2 to 1.3.txt includes instructions on undoing those heathen file edits :-p

WOW ill install it later

DOH! I feel like a retard now. Thanks dark.

Wait, according to this, I'm using 1.2 and 1.3 was released. Do you have to change the file edits, or can't you just upload a back up copy of the old files and then apply the template changes?

Sorry, I thought I saw earlier that it would be included with 1.3

Get some rest buddy, you gotta be tired from coding this all night

A lot of great improvements in 1.3, but that's my favorite part. This is turning into one of the best addons available here. Thanks for all your hard work Dark.

Oh, sorry about that, i really didnt mean to be rude, i think its a fantastic job and i really appreciate it. It was just that i had spent like an hour on installing it and didnt get it to work, but hey, its free!

I see that 1.3 is released now, thats wonderful! Ill install it right away!

And again, sorry if i said anything to offend anyone!

What is TMS?

Installed, Thanks great work.

2 Problems:
1 is solved. In mein Navbar the Credits was not showing. I Change the Addon wich display the Credits to global_start so i see now the Credits.

2 Problem:
I could not see the Links under Quick Links, the template_hooks are integratet but do not show. Any Idea?

I can't wait to see vBCommerce :D

Don't worry. Since I found it was just undoing edits and adding some more style ones, I just re uploaded back up files from the original vBulletin download, re-uploaded the files for this mod again and was all fine. But thanks for answering.

*rubbs eyes* *sees that dark is still sleeping; on 2 hours now*

we're glad you guys like our little mod :D, arcade intergration and other mods are coming down the pipe pretty quick, we've posted a number of polls on our site to get member feedback on what they feel is most important now that v1.3 is out here :D

I run a number of gaming servers; and so for those of you that do the same thing, I'll be working with dark on adding a lot of features to vBCommerce that will make sites that do the same purr. As well as adding systems for those that run business/other related products :D

However we need your feedback onsite as well so we can make it the best script possible for you guys. I'm going to leave support questions to dark at the moment so I can focus on the design site of our scripts. Please give Dark coding time and sleeping time between releases. ;)

PS: Please remember to click install here so we can gage how many people are using this mod.

Thank you :D

thats awesome, im so happy, my board members will be very happy, thanks again for all your efforts.

GREAT update :)

This really gonna start a battle between my boardmembers for which one is the most active member

TMS is a template modification system recently released again for vb3.6
Basically, the product file will make modfications of your templates automatically (otherwise youll have to do them manually like normal)

No, I knew you meant you were uninstalling the file edits ;)

I removed the link in quick links in favor of the navbar. Same general location and function, but more accessible.

Great new update, like how no file edits are needed anymore!

Also, I don't know if this has been suggested already, but I would like I function where you can charge points for downloading attachments. Thank you!

Nice work with the modification update. And I am very excited for the arcade intergration, as some of my forum's members seem to want it for sure. But yeah, great modification I could probaly not do without (the others being interactive profiles, shoutbox, shop and e-mail reminders).
