Will Updates Trash My Mods

[brandondrury]

While I've done my share of php destruction, I'm in the ?just-pushing-buttons? stages of tinkering with the vBulletin code.

I've written an external script which uses vBulletin for member management and communication. I just added the feedback score from that script to the postbit in vBulletin. So instead of displaying ?Username?, it now displays ?Username (14)?.

I did it like this:

				<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
					<if condition="$show['profile']">
					<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>


					(<a class="bigusername" href="http://www.domain.com/$post[musername]/feedback/">$post[fdbk_score]</a>)$post[onlinestatus]


					<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
					<else />
					$post[musername]
					</if>
				</div>

I've got the feeling that this falls under the "hack" category and if I update will be lost forever. So, what do I need to do to make sure I don't have redo this little mod after I upgrade again?

Thanks,
