porting hack help needed

[Mythotical]

Ok I still don't fully understand this hook system.

I have a full area of code that must be replaced with certain code. How would that happen in the hook system if the php file is never touched for that type of coding?

Thanks in advance

With hooks you don't replace parts of codes, you more add to it.

Replacing would still require old-fashioned file editing.

Which is a pity. It's a shame we/they can't think of a way to disable blocks of code.

Ok next question then: all the code really does is add userfield.field5 to 2 seperate areas, without it in those areas to call from the database, then how would I even think about doing the port? I have an idea and will try but if someone has any ideas, please let me know.

Ok my idea didn't work, guess it will have to be modified manually. That sucks but oh well. If no one minds installing manually then that is good.
