ok here is the first stage of what i was trying to get across in my last post.
i dropped the idea of having to arrange the code with markers like //% and //%+ etc.. dont need them :lick:
keep in mind this is an initial release and is not complete, it is functional, but needs alot more work to make it truely usable.
the point of this post original as i read it, is not to standardize the coding but to find a way to allow us users to hack our vbulletin boards and be able to update them when a new release comes out without having to rehack them all over again. and this is exactly what this tool is intended for.
it allows you to open the orignal file ie 2.2.4 the updated one ie 2.2.5 and the one your currently using ie hacked 2.2.4 and compare and list the changes to them. this is all it does right now, the next step if people are interested is provide better comparison, and the final step will be for it to write you an updated and hacked replacement file automatically.
i am including 5 files here.
the first is a zip which contains the other four files.
the files are
vbuu.exe the demo program
org.php a fake original php 2.2.4 file
org-update.php a fake updated copy 2.2.5
current.php a fake hacked version 2.2.4
Save and rename the php.txt to php and then you can use them to test.
you can use the php files to get a feel for how it works.
this is a visual basic 6 sp5 project so if you dont feel safe with grabbing it PM me and depending on you rank on these forums i will send you the source ( ie i dont want everyone with the source and making 300 different copies of this)
