Brief Description of the Hack:
The Hack Tracking Log is an advanced system for maintaining all your vBulletin hacks. You use it to install and / or create hacks, and it will automate many processes for the Admin.

Last update: Tuesday, January 27 (03:33 am CET)
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.
I've improved the entire

Former update: Monday, January 26 (2:42 PM CET)
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 ^_^

These three things need to be done for it to show up in the AdminCP.
Already done the edits to
includes/adminfunctions_template.php
includes/adminfunctions_navpanel.php

Just do the Index.php edit. You can always access the Hack List by directly calling the script in your browser. and then the above steps would be found by running a test install, should be step 6 of 6.

psssst .... I am Install: 200

Thank you. :banana:

[MrZeropage]

This did not help at all.

I installed HTL correct, but thus I am using vBulletin 3.0.1 there is an empty menu in the top of the navbar in the admincp.

How can I get this menu being filled with words ?

It is the menu that switches the "side" of the navpanel and brings me to the HTL-Menu.

[adusei]

Since I'm using vB3.0.1 now - I tried to install the great HTL again. And I got the same problem as before with the vBRC-Versions -: After step two the installer stays idle.WHY???
I tried to install manually - but the phrases are not installed.
What is to be done?

PLEASE H E L P !!!

Help! I'm getting this error now in my admincp

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_nav_option2() in /home/degrassi/public_html/admincp/index.php on line 526

And I can't see any options

edit: Okay I solved it. The hack instructs in the install are wrong. In the second php file change it says for you to place the stuff ABOVE the echo whatever when it should be below.
