I don't give out support for hacks that aren't mine, so don't bother.

inside vB3's .php

If you use Hack Tracking Log-exclusive hacks (and, all things considered, why wouldn't you?), you can upgrade your vB3 easily.

1. Go to the List All Modifications page, and decide whether you want to list ALL modifications at once, or work off the list on a one-hack-at-a-time basis.

2. Make sure to keep this page open in a tab or browser window that you're not using for the upgrading process. Overwrite all files with their newer vB3 equivalents.

3. Perform the upgrade as usual, ie. go to yoursite.com/forum/install/upgrade.php and follow the on-screen instructions. After upgrading, go back to your tab/window from the Hack Tracking Log.

4. Now work off the list of file- and template edits for each hack.


Voil?, you are done. Upgraded your vB and it didn't take any figuring out or file-comparisons programs or utilities. Just the HTL.



During step 4:
Should a line number be different due to the new version of vBulletin, you might want to inform the Hack Author of that. Should a certain modification become impossible because code has changed too radically, you really really should inform the Hack Author right away.

I would not advise installing the HTL this late in the game, it is outdated and unsupported
