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 ^_^

I keep getting this error trying to install it on RC3

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE hack ADD `options` SMALLINT(5) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AFTER `atstep`, ADD `menubits` TEXT AFTER `options`
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'options'

mysql error number: 1060

I don't know what it is talking about since i have made sure there is nothing in the database.

Every time I get to adding phrases, it stops there, I get no next button

[scottct1]

I tried the command line you gave above (http://www.yoursite.com/forum/adminc...eate_hacklog=1) and still got no continue button on step 2.

Here is a screen shot.

VB RC3
Windows
Not sure of php version, will have to fill that in tonight

I found if I ever put html code in any of the description boxes...or instructions boxes or any boxes or even the notes boxes (where you do the copy/paste for file and template edits) it never gives me a proceed button...but if I pull the code out or substitute {} it all works again without a hitch.

Kura I pmed you my info this morning.

Thanks.

I just completely reinstalled vB and the install worked now, however it's not showing up the HTL menu point. Any ideas?

[scottct1]

I can't reinstall VB from scratch. The only hack I have installed is the Arcade Hack.

I would sure love to have this hack working. But I am glad the VB.ORG is making people release their hacks in both text and HTL format just incase I can't get it to run.

But I have faith in KuraFire.
