Logician - fantastic work! I'll install this tonight. Just one quick question - how does this differ from the HTML / JAVA / TXT hack as a whole apart from you can obviously include queries in yours amongst the other new features. The reason I ask is because I'm using that at the moment. As far as I can see yours does exactly what this does but also so much more.
I'll repeat what Erwin told in his hack's thread:

I didn't use HTML / JAVA / TXT hack so don't know how exactly it works.

This hack is designed as a vb integrated content management system and a new version of my first webtemplate hack which has been first released at 22-March-2002. So webtemplates hack is not been inspired by any other hacks that is released after that date and afaik it is one of the first vb content management systems for vbulletin.

However it is not the only content management hacks around and there are other good hacks from good hack authors (like Erwin's hack). Honestly I don't know them much. Some can be better for some users depending on the features users are looking for so your best bet is to check their features list and decide which one is better for your needs.

Wildthinks- Logician mentions in his FAQ's above that this cannot be used with vB3.
Yes.

As mentioned in the FAQ, this is NOT compatible with VB3.

I waited more than 6 months to recode this hack as I thought VB3 is coming at any time but it didn't show up for more than 6 long months and I decided not to wait any more and coded this new version. 1 week before I finish coding, VB3 BETA is released. :tired: So it is just bad luck, sorry!

I don't plan to migrate my board to VB3 soon. I will wait for a stable release. In my eyes, "stable release" is not necessarily mean a "non-beta" release. I will label a VB3 release as stable when another new version for bug fixing is not considered for quite sometime after its release.

I don't plan to recode this sophisticated hack for VB3 until I migrate my own board to vb3 so there is no ETA for VB3 release.

But to releive you I can say this much: This hack is coded as an add-on (it does not depend on hacking of existing files), it does not modify any vbulletin tables and store its data in its own tables so:
1- A version for VB3 will be coded. This is not a hard to upgrade hack.
2- It is likely that you won't need any modifications in your "webtemplates" when you upgrade to webtemplates's VB3 version so there won't be a migration issue for your webtemplates you created now. (I can not guarantee this, but it likely to happen so.)
