Question To Vbulletin.org Majority
 
This is a question to the average vbulletin webmaster. Over in the coder's section, we've been discussing whether or not it's for the benefit of the user to have less when installing a modification (IE no template or file edits and a quick install, or having to learn how to edit and dealing with that).

What do you guys think?

Just give me a working modification with a clean install, no template or file edits needed.
or
I prefer a learning experience using information given and trial and erorr in order to learn more.

Feel free to express your opinion in your post as well.

LOL I was just thinking about this today...how odd!

I voted to just give me a working modification with a clean install, no template or file edits needed.

BUT, I am torn on this because I really want to learn all of this, but sometimes its frustrating because I can't figure things out being a noob and sometimes it takes a while for questions to be answered. So, now I try to just install things that takes little to no time at all.

I wish you would have put an option #3 for on the fence LOL

I was going to do that now for you. However, i do not have the permission to do so at the moment. Perhaps a mod can do that for you :p

Also, have you tried reading mods on your own and doing trial and error to learn?

I was thinking of doing that, but I would be afraid I would just detroy everything in there LOL I might get brave enough one day ;)

Thanks for adding it after I vote :p

Hehe. Give boofo a break, he's old! (hehe jk :p)

Don't be scared, set up a test forum if you'd like and just mess around with hacks and stuff. Find a hack you like but think you can improve, and go for it!

Since there has been a rash of non-working hacks released that install via the plugin system with no problems, I would opt for the template hacks. At least then I have some place to start looking for why it is not working.

So, if the hack actually works well right out of the box, I guess a plugin is nice, but now everyone and their mothers are releasing "products".

Thanks! I might just try ;)
