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 ^_^

Yup, I heard from dan that it works fine on RC4, and Kier told me a while ago that he couldn't think of any reason why it wouldn't work fine on RC4, too.

Yes I am correct I have yet to find anything that will make it not work with RC4

[riyatch]

i just tried to install this hack and it seems to be working fine except that it does not show up in the admincp menus on the left side. the only way i can get to it is to go to .../admincp/hackadmin.php
any input would be appreciated.

[mcncyo]

how do we upgrade with your hack install for vb3 to vb4?

[KuraFire]

Riyatch, you have to make a few file modifications, one to ./admincp/index.php and one to ./includes/adminfunctions_navpanel.php

Then, you have to refresh your navpanel for it to start showing up


Cyo: look at the first post in this thread, there's a big link:

Works fine for me

<-- running RC4

[Zelda-King]

I have it running fine on RC4. If you're upgrading (overwriting your hacked files) AFTER having installed the HTL you need to redo all the PHP and of course, you can't go to the hack menu from admincp/index.php to do it. Either go direct to admincp/hackadmin.php or make a note of all the PHP edits before upgrading.

The HTL provides a method for that
