Default How do hacks work?
I'm just curious how the hack-system works, what the installation actually does (ie: change the code, whatever...). I just want a bit of insight into this matter, just a rough overview of the logics. :bunny:

thanx in advance,
Tom

Everything that involves changing the origional vB code is classed as a hack. Whats involved though, depends on the hack your installing. Typically, templates and database changes as well as new files are required for many hacks.

so what a hack does when installed is go to line 50, in say, some properties file, and change some setting or a add a new one?

Every hack has different changes that need to be done and has a set of instructions for you to follow to install it.

mushroom, to download hacks you will need to go to this page and enter your email address, to show you are licensed. (you will need to use your customer number and password to access that page)
Thank you.

Thank you.
*raises an eyebrow*
A bit hasty are we Xenon?


Basically hacks are littlebits of instructions. For example....


A hack tells you to look for this to look for one line of code, and replace it with another
