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 ^_^

Thanks, I installed this great thing on vBulletin 3.0.1 and have one problem:

In the admin-controlpanel I can not see anything in the left navbar on top in the menu. There is no gfx or text in it, but clicking in the second row switches to the HTL-menu and backwards.

But where is the text ?!

Works, and it's great!

And here's a tiny tiny bug I found while in admin cp

low HTML in Shouts?
Set this to 'yes' to allow users to post HTML in their shouts. <i>STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED!</i>

-The <i> </i> appears, instead of taking effect.

/me feels dumb

Is anyone else having this problem after the vb3.0.1 upgrade?

[Sketch]

Definitely into this hack. I've released my first major hack under HTL and plan to release more. Plus, I think I'll evanglize a little and try to get more people to use this system. There's not enough people using it...

I just Installed it and there are missing Phrases! The new Menu to switch in the AdminCP is empty. I can click on an empty cell and it changes. btw: The Change is awful, Why change between two Menus?
And the Settings are empty with no phrases. I use a complete German Forum.

Any suggestions?

[Sketch]

You'd have to translate the english phrases into german, I'd imagine

In all other Parts I see english Text. In the Database I can see the Phrases, but I did not see them in the Phrasemanager.

I uploaded a new admincp/index.php file and i can't find the htl groups, what do i modify to re-add them? (Manually)
