THIS SCRIPT IS NOT FOR COMPLETE NEWBIES!
If you are not used to changing script code. Please let someone else do the job for you that know more 'scripting'.

This script requires modification to your database.

I take no responsibily as to what happens to your website after you install this script.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy my contribution!

You have to wait 15 minutes as he explained. If that still does not work. Make sure that mysql is updating.

I made those changes last night so it's been about 6-7 hours. Forgive my ignorance but how do I make sure that MySQL is updatin?

[Lionel]

If you do not know about mysql, don't go in there. You might mess things up big time.

[Lionel]

If I remember well, mysql was not updating and I had to do the permissions manually (set them to 1). He probably got the fields reverse in there too.

Luckily I backed up the database before installing this hack. Thanks for the info, although I know very little about MySQL I'll try to make those changes.

it works for me on vb3.03...allthough I had some problems getting started. At first nothing showed up. After I changed the default permissions in phpmyadmin from 0 to 1 the links started showing up.

@Snow...it's not that hard to change them, if you have control panel, then go to your vbulletin database...then go to the usergroup table, you'll see all the permission fields...the 2 at the bottom of the list are 'canuseguestbook' and 'canusewebpage'...you'll see the value for 'default' is 0...if you click on the edit button for those tables you can change the value to 1...

I changed the default permissions back to 0 later on and it's still working...

Oh! Crap! I realize I never included these two SQL commands:

PHP Code:

UPDATE usergroup SET canuseguestbook = '1';
UPDATE usergroup SET canusewebpage = '1'; 


Run these in your SQL command line! That will solve your problem.

Yipeee!! It's working now!!! Thank you Swedie.

PS It's a fantastic hack.

Great! Happy for you. Btw I looked at your website and your profile page looks real nice now.

I relied on people donationg money. There was atleast 3 people saying that they would donate. Now I'm left with nothing. bohoo. :ermm: hehe. It's okay. I just wish I had received atleast some donations. but none?

Anyhow, I'll add a buddy list to the profile page where the "owner" can administrate his buddies. The default vBulletin buddy-list is very weak.

I was wondering if anyone has used this hack in a smaller width skin like the default VB3 skin?

It seems like it may be too small and cramp the users webpage together.

Thats the only thing stopping me from download & install could someone with it installed clarify.

Thanks
