Brief Description of the Hack:
The Hack Tracking Log is an advanced system for maintaining all your vBulletin hacks. You use it to install and / or create hacks, and it will automate many processes for the Admin.

Last update: Tuesday, January 27 (03:33 am CET)
The earlier bug fix caused a new bug to arise. Yes, you may smack me with the cluebat. I f00ked up in my bugfix. *slaps self*
Anyhoo, to patch your install, just overwrite your admincp/hackadmin.php with the new version found in the NEW ZIPFILE, attached below.
I've improved the entire

Former update: Monday, January 26 (2:42 PM CET)
BUG FOUND! A minor, harmless bug was found in the Make vB.org Post section of /admincp/hackadmin.php - to upgrade, re-download the zipfile (clear your cache first!) and overwrite hackadmin.php on your server with the new one. If you haven't yet installed the HTL, make sure to get the latest download and you should be fine. Thanks Rein for the report ^_^

Yes, languageid=0 is a custom master language where phrases are inherited by all the languages but do not get deleted when you upgrade. The same, however, cannot be said about styleid=0 IIRC.

Yeah I didn't think so either, but that was memory from the Beta 7 'era', so I was gonna look into it again now with RC3...

Actually I had to add the templates to the non-default style manually. I'd already done this. However, your statement led me to recheck them and I'd left two templates out of one style. My fault. :/ My debugging had already shown me that it wasn't the caching that was to blame.

Incidentally, fixing that DOES remove the uncached template problem, thanks!

And with that last matter fixed I can say that the HTL is working flawlessly.

Yeah, I thought that was the case. I know vB3's template caching mechanisms by head, pretty much, and any "uncached template queries" alert me to be an inexistance of those templates in that style. ^_^

I just installed.

Getting the following sql error....

Invalid SQL: SELECT menubits FROM hack WHERE (options & HTLSETTING_SHOWMENU) AND atstep=-1
mysql error: Unknown column 'HTLSETTING_SHOWMENU' in 'where clause'

Any ideas?

I'm trying to install it on RC3 but I get only to step 2/5... after that I get on the next page but no submit button is there:

Installing: Hack Tracking Log (version: 1.00 Gold)
Hack Tracking Log Installer System

Insert Hack Phrases (Step 2 of 5)

Current Step: Insert Hack Phrases
This step inserts all the new phrases for the Hack Tracking Log. It creates one new phrase group on the language table, phrasegroup_hacklog, and inserts a selection of phrases into existing vBulletin Phrase Groups (such as error phrases, etc).

scottct1: ehm... I've no idea what the hell you did, but either you removed some quotes (") or you did a file edit really oddly...

sjau: I've no clue, are you sure you're following the instructions properly??

[Natch]

sjau: did u upload the xml files to the htlfiles folder ?

I'm trying to install it on RC3 but I get only to step 2/5... after that I get on the next page but no submit button is there:

I am having this problem as well. No submit button on step 2 of 5

Is there any manual query I can do to get step 2 installed?

Thanks
