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.
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 ^_^

And Kura , not to be an arse , but your instructions for the last file were pretty point blank....

At the end of the php file

after the last }

place this below

{CODE}


ya know what I mean

You PROBABLY mis-placed the file edit in adminfunctions_navpanel.php!

The file edit in adminfunctions_navpanel.php has to go BELOW this:

PHP Code:

       </script>
        <?php
    
        echo $controls . $_NAV . $_controls;
    
     }

Pay close attention to the closing bracket:
}

it all has to go BELOW that!


This is *most likely* what you did wrong - paste the new code 2 lines too high.

thankz point that now everything looks great....AND i find why i cant install last night?

Kura in ur readme file u say this:

EXAMPLE:
If your forum is at www.site.com/forum/ and you want to place
your htlfiles directory one level below the WEBroot, your
config_htl.php should show this:

$htlfilesdir = '../../htlfiles';

AND early i change the path to

$htlfilesdir = './htlfiles';

and thats work for me!!

PS:my address same as ur examplewww.site.com/forum/.

echo $controls . $_NAV . $_controls;

} <<<<<<<-----------\

right after the bracket

What happens if you open http://www.yoursite.com/forum/includ...s_navpanel.php in your browser? I'm betting you have a parse error....

ITs a blank page

If the file on the server really has the code placed after the } then it should work fine...
I am gonna sleep now, so I'll get back to you on this tomorrow.


On ANOTHER note, I just sent out an update on the HTL and updated the first post. A bug was found again and fixed again, this time it should be fixed PROPERLY! (I caused this problem with my earlier bug fix... *shame*)

Please update ASAP everyone

Nice job again, Kura.

Its ok man I just went ahead and uninstalled it...well just uploaded the back up files of the modified file.

I did notice though the error seems like its coming from admin/index.php

[Link14716]

That's because it can't find the function in includes/adminfunctions_navpanel.php. You obviously did something wrong with that file.

[madhouse]

Link , I have repeated this hack 5 times over , and still the same issue .. I have checked and rechecked it..

The same error still arises over and over again....

The steps he gave are not hard to follow, so I would have to disagree with you that I did something wrong with that file.

Wierd thing is I can access the Hack log by going directly to the admin file hackadmin.php,
with no problems and it will do all functions.

One question for you Kura , I am running RC2 , and I have notice that the hack was for 3.0.0 RC 3 , I do not know if there was that big of a differnce betweent the 3 files that you had added the extra code to.
