Hello,
From just these posts, I can tell you are one of those people that has to always be right. My point is that "NO FILES" are being editted, as the author stated. If you have installed other modifications from this site, which I believe you likely have, you should know by now that "FILE" edits are when you have to edit the core files, or better yet, PHP. "TEMPLATE" edits are when you don't have to have FTP access, or cpanel access, and can you can edit through the admincp.
No matter how you slice it, on THIS site, "FILE" edits are referring to "CORE" PHP "FILES". This modification, as the author stated, does not require ANY FILE EDITS.
I normally don't get caught up in these trivial types of discussions, but I believe you need to understand the difference between the 2. This site bases "FILE" edits on core "FILES". If it says the mod needs a file edit, expect to edit a PHP file. If it says it does not, you won't be editting any files...but you may need to edit some HTML in the templates.
Amen for the hook and plugin system because 99% of the modifications on this site don't require any more "FILE" editting.
