ok, since i don't write hacks, let me see if i got this right, because i am not entirely sure i understand.. but like the sounds of it all even if i don't know what it may or may not mean to general board admins..
so if i have my vb3 boards set up, install HTL, then install the hacks that come out using the HTL method, HTL will keep up with all of the hacks i've installed, the file edits associted with the installed hacks, as well as templates, template modifications, new tables in the database, tables that are modified, phrases (which i don't entirely understand either) that the installed hacks use, and code specifically associated with the installed hacks.. as well as the abilty to upgrade your boards as new vb releases are done by allowing you to basically compare files with the necessary code changes that need to be made?
also, will it keep up with style modifications.. let's say i modify my style, install an upgrade version of vb3, it rewrites the style.. will i be able to compare my old style with the new stlye to be able to make the satisfactory changes that will help me revert to what my existing look was/what i want it to be?
if even the majority of this is true, then i am completely interested..
and since i have been trying to learn the vbulletin design to start my own hacks, i am assuming from what i have read, that the HTL will output what changes i have made, as well as an installer that one could use to install via the HTL, should i choose to release any of my own hacks.. is that also roughly correct?
