To save memory and enable faster editing of the form hack plugin: 1. create a new file in WordPad, 2. cut and paste ALL the form hack code into that new file, 3. add a <?php tag at the very beginning and a ?> tag at the very end of the file., 4. save the file with a php extension, (ie: form_hack.php). 5. insert this code into the form hack plugin (the period indicates the path is relative to the VB forum directory):
That's it. VB can now dynamically load the module only when needed, and you don't need to wait for VB to parse the code whenever editing the form hack code.

Great tips! Thanks for sharing that :up: This would be useful for me since I got pretty much customizations.
