i asked the original guy if i could post it here as a hack and give him credit. he said ok. you helped with math. i gave you credit.

what is the problem? make it "amy's active topics hack". i could care less. i just thought i would share this. not like we get paid for this or anything... it's one little mod on a vbulletin forum...

edit:

for weeks and weeks i have posted about getting this hack out here. i don't see anyone else with an "active topics" hack... all i saw was one guy on a totally different forum who did something i could have done on my own, sorting by days. then i went in and made up my own phrases and edited another phrase and then tried for a few days to get some help from other members who know more about coding to make the math work. amy, you finally figured it out. want a cookie? who cares about who releases something? did you put the "how to" together? did you write all of the template editing? no. i don't think so. i gave you credit for your math skills and i thanked you in the thread you helped me in...

Before you publish a new hack in this forum, please make sure that it complies with the following guidelines:

1. Before releasing a hack, search the forum to make sure the same idea was not released already. If you are releasing a hack that is a variation of an existing hack, don't forget to give credit where credit is due.

2. You must test your hack and approve its working ok at least in your own board. If your hack is working ok, but you are not sure whether it has unnoticed bugs or don't know how it will behave in different boards, post it to Beta Hacks forum. If you did not confirm your hack is working ok, post to to Help Me Finish or General Hacking Discussions forum, not releases sections.

3. Hacks are PHP code changes, nothing more and nothing less. As a rule, remember that if your 'hack' can be done solely from the Admin control panel, then it does not qualify as a hack. Furthermore, hacks are not template changes. If you have a cool idea that is based solely on editing templates - post in the Templates Forum.

4. Make sure to specify which vBulletin version(s) this hack is written for.

5. You must offer a way to contact you if the installers have questions or problems. If you don't want to provide support for your hack - then you must state in the first post that your hack comes with no support.

6. Only licensed vBulletin users may release and/or download hacks. vBulletin Lite hacks cannot be distributed.

7. Hacks must not be encrypted and the source code hidden using ZEND or other methods. This is an open-source hack website. Exceptions may be made for exceptional hacks - please contact the forum moderator if you wish to release an encrypted hack.

8.Complete script files from vBulletin must not be posted. You may only post instructions for the users to change the file themselves.

1) I searched this forum and there was no similar hack. Where credit was due, I gave it.

2) It was tested. It works like a charm, thanks to Amy's math skills.

3) There is editing done on the search.php file. Therefore, it is classified as a hack.

4) It was specified that it was made for 3.0.3

5) It comes with support. That checkbox is clicked.

6) I own the license to my vBulletin forum.

7) There is no encryption.

8) Does not apply.


well, it looks as if I have done nothing wrong and I feel I have more than enough explained and defended myself...
