Frames in Hack Installation

Description
I have installed a variety of hacks on my board, and have noticed that every script I have used has not had the admin cp menu frames in it, so I created this small if conditional for hackers to use to get those frames to appear during a hacks installation.


Just Add:

PHP Code:

if (empty($_REQUEST['step'])) {
        print_cp_redirect('index.php?loc=yourscript.php');
} 


After including nessisary files(IE:Global.php) in the installer. Replace yourscript.php with the name of your script. This could be classified as a how to as well, but I thought it would work better at vb.org as a mini mod, because the info is more directed at hackers here. irate: This is my first modification, so go easy on me!

they dont have them because theres no real need to have the menu when your installing a hack because most give you a link back to the admin cp anyway when your done running the installer.

also its not like your going be wanting to use the menu when installing a hack as stopping a install part way in to it to do something else then going back to the install will just give you no ends of probs due to a partly installed hack.

thats my view anyway.

Plus you probably want to see the URL in the address bar so you know what step you are at, and know where to go to if something goes wrong.
