Modification Hacks section

[Delphy]

Hiya,

I have to say I love vbulletin.org - the quality of hacks here is impressive.

One hack I'm interested in - the specific hack that is used in the vb3 code modification forums, to display a custom first post with specific information in seperate boxes.

Is this a vbulletin.org custom hack, a hack thats already been released, or... what? I'd love to use that on my own site, but couldn't find an equivalent in the forums.

Thanks again for the great work on the site!

Regards
Delphy

It's custom coded for vBulletin.org and hasn't been released. Some say it might be one day, but nothing's sure

There are instructions of how to do something similiar yourself on a thread asking the same question... search and ye shall find.

i think this hack has been requested about like 10 times in this forum already

I think this hack (the one installed in vb.org) is quite similar to one of my own hack, just different in the showthread html output and a bit input forms in editpost. My Hacks

Thanks for the replies all

yea the HACK is something similar but i dont think that your hack provides members with a simlar TEMPLATE, or does it?

You can achieve the same effect simply by using template conditionals. There is no need to edit any vBulletin PHP code to do it. Just check the post number in the conditional and display alternative HTML if it is correct.
