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.
