Noob question - template vs hack
Hello everyone -
First, my congrats or thanks (whichever is appropriate) for the look of this site - I have been surfing through thousands of VB related pages at VB, SPF, VB.org and here, and your layout is very easy on the eyes. I have a newbie question - I have someone doing the major construction on my forum, and she wanted me to tell her which hacks and template mods I wanted. I know that: This site houses template mods and postbit mods, and, VB.org houses hacks. What I don't know is: What's a postbit modification, and What's the dif between a hack and a template mod? Can someone 'splain that to me? Is one harder than the other? Thanks! Jeff |

A hack involves editing vBulletin's .php files. A template mod usually involves editing templates only in the admin CP or other small tweaks, but never touches the actual .php files.

A postbit modification is something that edits the box in which a reply is displayed. Like what your viewing now to read this.

Thanks!
Sounds like after a little practice I might be able to tackle trying some template or postbit mods without doing too much damage. Jeff |

Installing some of these and editing yourself is the easiest thing to do.

Cool - once my hired gun has things going, I'll give some of this a whirl.
