Didn't vote.
I think it is a great tool for documentation. It would be an improvement if all hacks were documented like the output of vbHacker. But now showing the entire line is less than desirable. Personally, I'd be happy with a diff -c output. You can probably tell I don't let vbHacker change my code or database or templates. 1) I would need chmod my files, 2) I tend to block-comment around installed hacks.

It works for me.
This hacks is great since it helps you to organize your installed hacks, and help you keep track of your own hacks too. I believe many here have made code modifications in their files but forgot to keep track, later on when they need to reload the original files they overwritten their hacks also.. This hack will help more people use your hacks since it's easy for them to install. --> chances are your hacks will be more popular if you follow the format.. If people don't want to use the vbhacker, they can always read the feeder files (*.hack.php) themselves ... well.. to learn and such.. I don't see the point of voting NO on this thread. I don't vote against something that is helpful and can save my time..  This is a great idea and a good work! Jedi

welli voted yes, it can be pretty helpful when you wanna hurry up and install a hack, and if i have the time, i can generate the txt file, it is a time saver, but i don't use it too often, as of the lack of vbhacker hacks there is

I love vBhacker...
However, I voted No. This is because, even though it is a great script, I want to see the code itself...I prefer .txt files, because I dont have to upload a file to my ftp just to read the code...I like to read what I have to do in advance, and then try and figure out how it works... vBhacker would be of great help to me if I had the wish to decrease the site's security...I dont want to, and most likely, I would forget to reverse the procedure... I would prefer it if people posted a .txt file and a vBhacker file... Even better : Why not generate a text file from vBhacker itself, after creating the hack, that way the .txt files will all look the same, and people will have the best of both worlds... I simply do not see the need to upload a file simply to read the coding... Satan

Voted :no
However i really like the idea of vBhacker, and it's a GREAT piece of art. i want to see what code i add/delete/replace so i can understand what happens.. (the better you understand it the better you get right?) honestly, i never tried vBhacker, i'm pretty sure it's a great hack. maybe i'll try it sometime soon  i always take the time for adding a hack, even when it's a simple small hack because i fully want to understand what's happening in there. example : it took me 40minutes to install random quote on forumhome by lesane, just because i wanted to know what happened in the files

i just want to comment to this thread. i voted yes, because i think it is a great idea.
however, i am a newbie to php- and if you don't try something you won't learn. i am no longer scared to death to work on the code and try to learn something about what i am doing. i do hope that everyone takes a little time to familiarize themselves with the code and their hacks... it will be for the best in the long run. people can't help you all the time, sometimes you have to do a little bit for yourself. am

I voted NO because I believe the initial intent was to develop an application that allow users a easier method of installing the hack first and it does a very poor job at that. I've tested the program on a clean set of code and it still couldn't find lines of code to insert the hack. When I generated the text file and searched for the code myself, all tha lines that the program couldn't find were found pretty easy!
I assume that the author knew when developing this application, that a previous hacked board would nullify the process, and put in this alternative method. It's the only part of the program that works ... So in summary, it doesn't do was it was intially intended to do! The string compare process doesn't compensate for line breaks, and modified code. From what I observed, the file that needs to be modified, HAS to be structured Line, by line with no wrap around functions. It was a great idea with good intent but better suited for creating text file instructions which is it's strong part.
