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 ^_^

it can be if you have many different hacks installed with it.

i just bought a new skin and i wonder howto put the templates what the [HTL] Hack Tracking Log putted in my earlier style to put it now in my new style. cause everything is going automatic i dont know what he exactly added.

thnx

Trying to install the HTL. It seemed to work fine the first time, but there was no htl menu in my admin cp. I wondered if this was because Hack_Tracking_Log.htl hadn't uploaded in binary, so I tried overwriting that and running the install program again. But when I got to Insert Hack Phrases (Step 2 of 5), there was no next step button.
I've tried deleting all files and reverting the .php files that I know were modified, but the same still happens when I get to step 2 of the installation, it won't let me go any further.
Thanks

Did you do the three files edits?

admincp/index.php
includes/adminfunctions_navpanel.php
includes/adminfunctions_emplates.php

You need to do those for the menu navigation section to show up.

if you do those, then the section will show up above the vBulletin Options section.

[neocorteqz]

refer to this post for adding the link (section) in your adminCP

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=331

they show up in the actual install phase, second to last step.
I got an email stating there was a new post, and read the post, but when i got here, it wasn't here. :ermm:

As for the uninstall process. I don't think uninstalling is supported in this version, but how to uninstall the HTL would be to go into your hacks menu, and in the drop down box next to the HTL, select 'Uninstall Hack'

But you don't need to reinstall it.

Just point your browser to admincp/hackadmin.php?do=modify

and it will go to the Hacks menu. Just do the hacks above and it will add the section i was refering to.

Hope this helps. Ohh and the post that was there, but never was.

I can't find instructions for these file edits, where are they?

Plus, how can I completely uninstall the htl so I can start afresh and get the install script to run?

Thanks

Best of luck.

nice work Kura
i hit install

[J-TEK]

It wont let me upload in Binary, I tried to but its only doing ASCII. So i tried doing the install_htp.php with the link of my page (www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp/install_htm.php) does not work for me i have to do it like this "www.mysite.com/board/index/php/adminmp/install_htp.php" , sometimes when i do that it'll just show me my board regularly and another time it went with like 4 Debug messages and it showed my site with the header messed up and as if it were another color and froze when it tried uploading the last "image", Help?

Kura/Zelda,

I'm experiencing the same problem.

"You don't have permission to see the File- or Template edits for this Hack!" and
"Warning: Wrong datatype for second argument in call to in_array in /home/www/xdxusa/forums/admincp/hackadmin.php on line 2184"

Looked through the thread and didn't see the post that contained KuraFire's instructions that you mentioned above. (unless I'm just spacing it today)

Could you please post what you did to resolve? Many Thanks!


*edit* Scratch that. Figured it out. Thanks anyways.

This is the error Im getting and I have not read a fix for this at all!!!

"This step inserts all the new phrases for the Hack Tracking Log. It creates one new phrase group on the language table, phrasegroup_hacklog, and inserts a selection of phrases into existing vBulletin Phrase Groups (such as error phrases, etc)."

What gives...It worked fine with 3.0.1 but since I upgrade to 3.0.3 its not working!!!

You do not need to reinstall the HTL when upgrading, the Database and phrases are already there, you need only make the necessary file edits as instructed in the second to last step. the three file edits are listed in one of my post in this thread, on one of the previous pages. or you can do a test (Verbose) install, and find the file edits there. point to hackadmin.php in your adminCP.
