A separate section for vbhacker hacks...
 

This might have already been mentioned..... but I just wanted to commend Firefly again on his awesome addition to vB.... and to say that...

I think it would be a good idea to have a separate forum for hacks that are capable of working with his vbhacker, or at least some way of separating those hacks from the rest.

:cool:

hmm, a new forum for these hacks wouldn't be good i think, but a threadprefix could be an intresting idea..

I think a separate unique download link just for vbHacker files would be better than a whole forum for them...

well either way... it's a bit confusing how it is now.....

perhaps vb3.0 will have the hack builder (or something like it) built right in....

I agree as well, a vbhacker section should be added to the hacks database link, then split out into its appropiate categories

A suggestion:

If a post has an attachment with "*.hack.php", an automatic signature/footer can be added to the message about basic info for how to install a vbhacker file.

Small and easy modification and will help a lot to save "how can I install this hack" messages.

    How about you code a whole new file extension readable by an upgraded version vBHacker. Say for instance you download the file from an appointed vBHacker section of vBulletin.org. You get the download and the file comes out with an extension of '.hac' or '.vbh'. Much like how vBulletin can read '.sql' for backing up the DB it will do an installation procedure with the appointed extension for vBHacker. If you all want I can look into coding a rough draft for this.

I might do this, although readable files formats are harder than machine formats.

    No doubt about that. Lol. I checked over the way vBulletin reads '.sql' and that was hard enough. But I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle Chen. :p

vBulletin doesn't "read" SQL files... that's a regular SQL format with queries, that you can send the server to perform.
