Please ask permission in this thread to copy the tutorial. If granted, post a link that points to this page.

We all have all kind of hacks installed in our boards, or else you wouldn't be reading this thread, right?
Here is it my tutorial on how to upgrade your VB board in less then 30minutes.

TOOLS NEEDED
Araxis Merge (for more info, visit www.araxis.com)
I use the evaluation version for now, but this will be my next purchase. Is worth every penny.

PROCEDURE
[high]STEP 1[/high]
01. Extract your new zipped file that you downloaded from Member's Area to a unique folder and dispose the files in the same manner as you have them on your web server.
I named that folder [high]vbNEW[/high].
For example, you should have your folder tree like that:
Quote:
|--vbNEW (.php and .js files here)
|-----admin (.php files)
|-----mod (.php files)
02. Create a new unique folder called [high]vbOLD[/high] (your actual version that you want to upgrade from).
Copy there ALL your .php, .js files that you currently have (hope you alwyas keep the .zip file).
Your folder tree should look like that:
Quote:
|--vbOLD (.php and .js files from old zip archive here)
|-----admin (.php files)
|-----mod (.php files)
|--vbNEW (files from the new zip archive here)
|-----admin (.php files)
|-----mod (.php files)
[high]STEP 2[/high]
01. Open Araxis Merge and press CTRL+D. It will start a new folder comparison.

02. Browse for folder location in each compare area. I selected the vbNEW in the left side and vbOLD in the right one.

03. Press the button Refresh. Araxis will start to compare the files one by one and show you the changes in colors.

[high]STEP 3[/high]
Let's see the changes that occurred in db_mysql.php file, for example.

01. Click on the db_mysql.php file name to highlight it.

02. Press CTRL+M to launch the file comparisons. A new window will open and Araxis will highlight all code changes.

03. Copy the highlighted code onto your actual vBulletin hacked file.
NOTE: Repeat this procedure for every code change that you see highlighted.

[high]FINAL STEPS[/high]
If you are not sure 100% of what you are doing, use the upgrade system provided by Jelsoft and reinstall manually the hacks again.
Araxis is a great tool for comparing the files ONLY.

Once done, test the new code on your test board. if everything is OK, upload your files to your live web site.
You are done.

People who ripped my tutorial, without placing a link that point here, as discussed:
[high]Tutorial:[/high] Upgrade Your Custom Board In Less Than 30 Min.
[high]Ripper's Comments:[/high] Good Tutorial I Created Off Nakkid's At vB.org.

He actually ripped all without creating nothing.
Please let them know also what you think about it. Thanks.

No, the vbulletin forums are in a server which i can only access via SSH, the mysql database is in ANOTHER server, and i cant make backups because i dont have an admin password nor root in either server, so the database backup just wont work...

i can trasnfer files (phps, html, etc) from the webserver to my local machine via SSH i have a windows and a debian box.. but i cant really see the difference in using Araxi's software.. which is nicely graphical.. but i cant connect to that server via other thing than ssh...

so what do you guys suggest...?
i can backup files in the same server, upgrade vbulletin and reinstall hacks...? is that the way to go?

duh! im really lazy...
cheers! :banana:

i cant signup to your board. you password hack is installed wrong. any password i type to create is not accepted. also you should specify how many characters are allowed in the passowrd. i know that if i'm a regular person i would never return to a board that it's posing problems to signup.
it's extremly complicated your signup system. please revise it and let me know when i can signup properly.

It shows in your profile you only installed 3 hacks; you must've not given credit to some hackers here, I assume

I know :disappointed: I am sorry I promise I will credit them tonight when I go through all of them to reinstall them. Honestly, I was having a major blonde moment and never really knew what clicking that credit link was? Those 3 I have were just me clicking it "wondering" what it did and what it was for lol

Err, as i said, the administration choices are not mine ...

As i registered long ago (err.. 6 months ) this signup system
was not in place.
