Add-On Releases - Alias V2.1

Due to the pricing and yearly fee of vBulletin I am no longer creating mods for vBulletin, instead I have stepped out of the shadow of vBulletin to create my own stand alone mods. I wish to thank everyone who downloaded and installed my mods but as of now with not being able to afford hosting and vBulletin, I decided to drop vBulletin so hopes of me returning would only happen if my newest venture brings me a nice profit.

Thank you all again
Steve

We have officially asked for help from someone who knows what they are doing when it comes to vbulletin. I will not release the name of that person as I'm not sure if they wish to be known as of yet.

Thanks for the suggestions and Alias 2.2 shall be released very soon.

Yes, We believe that this addition to the team will allow the Alias hack to progress quicker and more effectively.

When I try to access the thread on the vbrenegades forum I am told I don't have sufficient permissions to access the thread...

Eek, ok HellRazor, I will be upgrading to vbulletin 3.5.1 tonight so bear with me. I will grant you access as a mod so that way you can view it. I think something went wrong during the upgrade to 3.0.8 or 9. Not sure.

Thanks for letting us know.

EDIT: Ok HellRazor, give it a try now.

Bear with us, we are working on this... I'll quote the thread here:

This was once called Public Displayed Names V1.3 but since has been renamed to Alias V2.1.

What this does is in your profile, you will see a field: Alias: which is where you will put the name you want everyone else to see when they see your posts. The username will still be seen when reading the profile which is good by me. Screen shots are provided below.

Update: Added addition hooks to my files
Please refer to this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82703
You MUST do what is described in that thread for 3 of codes, the 1st one listed you do not have to modify at all.

Future 2.2:
Admin on/off switch
Alias Glow Color

Tested on 3.0.7 and 3.5

Please click INSTALL if you are going to use this hack.

Screenshots provided.

I will be getting the xml file uploaded soon. Support will be given in this thread so please post any bugs, problems, or suggestions in this thread.
