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 ^_^

So this hack is pretty much over, right? Now we are supposed to be using HIS instead?

Is there a standard yet?

I wouldn't put much into HTL right now, kura stoped supporting it ages ago.

So it's best to just forget it?

eh depends if you really like it so be it, but current hacking authors are not mass producting hacks to be used with the HTL anymore, mostly because you are required to have one of each.

Using somthing like the HIS for your hacks instead allow hackers to only have one kind.

OK I would like to uninstall this hack because it's become more or less useless. Anyone know how I would go about removing it completely? There aren't any uninstall instructions in the zip file. I would like to know how to remove the phrases in particularly. I think I can remove the other stuff safely.

[Paul M]

Just delete them in Phrase Manager ?

I just installed this hack on my test board and when I go to my admincp I get this message in the right column

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_OR in /home/muleskin/public_html/Board/includes/adminfunctions_navpanel.php on line 336

I have not been able to find the error and I cannot uninstall the hack because I can't get to options in admin cp, as the error code takes up the color where my functions generally show.
Any suggestions on hot to fix or remove greatly appreciated

If a hack doesnt have HTL file and I want to ADD the hack to HTL myself, i see this in one of the option "Is this Hack installed?" after clicking on the "Add hack" link.

Does it mean that first I have to INSTALL a non-htl hack manually and then add it to htl database or some other way.

I am sorry. This question is probally answered in the everythingvb FAQ, but as you can see its offline. And there are no docs in the download.

Can anyone please help.

no, If you have already installed the hack before you do the HTL, thenall you do is select Yes and it will add it to the hacks list. If youselect no, then you will have to go through the install process beforeit gets added to the list.

Installed/click installed and makes my life much easier. Thanks.
