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.

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 ^_^

In fact your admin cp doesn't even "know" you have the arcade or other non htl hacks installed. So you can't get it in there.

Actually they did reply to this on thier forum. Turns out it was easier than I thought, didn't have to edit any code. All you have to do is "Add Hack" with what info you have, then their is an option to creat/edit the menu links for it. So yes you can... now we all know.

Nope.
If I had the time, and the permission, i would do a HTL for the arcade. Key emphasis on time.

[EyeCrave]

Am I blind? I can't seem to find HTL in the admincp after installing it?

I can manually go there, but did I miss a step or something. Should it have not been added to the bar on the left?

need to add the code in the install step for the adminCP.

If you run the installer again, and select Test Run. The necessary file edits are in step 6 of the installer. there are three, make sure you did all of them.

admincp/index.php
includes/adminfunctions_navpanel.php
includes/adminfunctions_template.php

It should be right below the vbulletin options, 2nd menu item.

But try to refresh your admincp, or log out and log back in.

I couldn't find mine either untill i refreshed, then it appeared
Gotta love cache!

How did you fix this problem?

Thanks

[EyeCrave]

It's fixed. I know what I did now. I had installed another hack after HTL and used a fresh copy of /admincp/index.php and not the one I had updated with the HTL code.

Thanks.

Ok I'm going nuts. I d/l this directly to my server and copied the files over and when I try to run the install I get the following error;

Fatal error: Failed opening required './includes/adminfunctions_hacklog.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes') in /home/wolfpack/web/forums/admincp/install_htl.php on line 39

HELP!!!!

[TcmDeb]

I have all the files uploaded properly but when I run the install I get stopped at step 2 (insert hack phrases). I have no button to go onto the next step
