Well, when hacks are made, we use these bit of codes to get it to use vbulletin mysql info, functions etc

PHP Code:

require("./global.php"); 


As you know global as all the information that vb uses.

to call a specific template eval code is used
for example

PHP Code:

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('template_name')."\");"); 


and yes you can place it out of the forums directory, but besure to use the chdir(); to tell the script where global.php is located at.
