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.

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

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 ^_^

im currently taking some screens

[Zachery]

ok now i have a problem,

the templates only got installed to a single style not all of my styles >.> i see this as a problem in the long run

[eXtremeTim]

I agree that could be a problem but should also be fairly easy to fix.

[Sufian]

Great Hack! I just installed it

[KuraFire]

buro9, I can't blame you for being skeptical, it's a good attitude to have on Hacks!

As for screenshots, I wanted to do those today but I didn't get round to them.

As for the Templates issue Faranth mentioned, it will most likely be fixed in HTL 1.1

Back to what the HTL can do: it doesn't scout through files or templates to see what changes have 'magically' been made. What it does is provide you an easy to use interface so you can log your changes, each and every one, so that they are stored separately, in a nice organized manner. 'coincidentally' this manner can be utilized to create HTL Installer files that you can use to release your hack to the public - but you don't have to do that.

I've installed it smoothly. Just one thing;

I get this error when I opt to 'show all modifications':

Currently listing all Hacks at once

interesting....

are you sure that the HTL installation was finished entirely, properly?

[Zelda-King]

Yes, it certainly looked smooth. I should mention that I manually added the previously installed hacks without bothering to list mods and so on. Just the required fields and a few options. They all have the default allowed userid of 1 anyway.

If I go to the list at the bottom though (of hacks run through the installer), those links work fine.

ie,

Very weird...

So, let me get this straight:

If you go to List All Modifications, you first get that error warning, then you get normal File/Template modifications, and then you get the PROPER list of hacks that you can click?
Or do you not get any file/template modifications in the middle either?

[Zelda-King]

I get the error on the 'list all modifications'. At the bottom of that page is the list of installed hacks that you can click on individually. If I click on those (though I only have one at the moment run through this installer) THOSE mods show up fine. Watch this space for a screenshot.
