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.

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 ^_^

I'm in step 2 "Insert Hack Phrases (Step 2 of 5)" of installation. However, there is not a button what-so-ever to continue. It just tells me
"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)."

How am I supposed to continue to the next step? Is something wrong on my end or something?

milkmycow · #**313** 04-14-2004, 05:54 AM

im having the same error as govgaming

trinitym · #**314** 04-15-2004, 05:38 AM

Yep. I had the same error as GovGaming and milkmycow, it seems to not include any way to reach the next step after "Insert Hack Phrases" if you've already had HTL installed once before and are reinstalling it after upgrading VB [like I am now from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1]. Luckily for me, I'm doing a sort of psuedo clean install, so I can afford to drop my current language, phrase and phrasetype tables and insert the original ones - which did the trick for me.

Though, for future upgrades a fix would be nice.

Deleting all the tables HTL uses in the mySQL database should fix that.

Same problem here. I've tried to delete hack and hacklog- table and the HTL-related phrases in language before trying to re-innstall. With no luck.

Waaaa.. me too

people who are having problems with step 2:

assuming you've uploaded all the files, go to:
www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp/hackadmin.php

Then you should see a list of hacks that you've installed using hack tracking log, including the hack tracking log itself.

Click on "Edit Hack Details" and choose "Edit Steps". Then click "Modify: File and Template edits" and edit the necessary files. You DO NOT need to do anything else.

This is for people upgrading from vB RC to Gold / 3.0.1

Damn, I must be dumb or something. I'm trying to convert Beermonster's hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...972#post502972) and I'm to the point where I generate the Phrases XML. The temp file is located in /forums/bannerphrases.php. The contents of the file are:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$vbphrase['fhbanner'] = 'Postbits Banner Image<br>(Places a image on your forum postbits) EX: banner.jpg';

$vbphrase['fhbannerlink'] = 'Postbits Banner Image Link<br>([url]http://www.yoursite.com[/url])';

$vbphrase['fhmessage'] = 'Postbits Banner text i.e. Sponsored By or Affiliate with';

?>

Whenever I use the XML Utilities "Create an XML File for your Hack Section" I put in:

Generate XML for Which Hack: Banner Ad on Forum Home
What type of XML? Phrases
Locate your temporary...? ./forums/bannerphrases.php
Select Style: Standard Style Renamed to mine

For the Locate question, I have tried full path, forums/bannerphrases.php and /forums/bannerphrases.php (which shouldn't work anyhoo) and they are giving me

No Temporary Phrases Found errors and No XML Files designated errors. Of course, this is my first time trying to "write" a hack for HTL so what am I doing wrong?

Well now when I click on "Hacks Menu" nothing happens in the right frame. It stays where it was previously. I can always type in "/hackadmin.php" manually, but still..
