VB3-Style admin-login · **Released**: 11-26-2002

Right..
Just for fun (well, for the looks, really

) I took a few minutes to re-write the vb2.2.8 admin-login screen to look like the vb3 preview one.

Note: the code does use images that are copyrighted to jelsoft, so you're *supposed* to use your own, unless jelsoft allow us all to use them

Step 1, download the hack (attachment to this post)
Step 2, unzip all the files to your admin/ directory
Step 3, open up global.php (in the admin dir!)
Step 4:
Look for

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 and $checkpwd) {

Delete *everything* below it, and paste:

PHP Code:


			
  include 'vb3login.php';

  cpfooter();

  exit;

} // end of if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 and $checkpwd)

  

?>

anyway.. have fun, and enjoy

11/28: Made the username (if it was ever set) appear in the username box automatically.

I Never seen the VB3-Style admin-login, could you please post a screenshot ?

You can see the vB3 style mod login here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/modcp

The admin login looks the same.

Just a few tips - you need to manually add the table background image to the HTML code to make it look exactly like the vB3 mod cp login.

Also, you need to remove the username from the login text input box.

Ensure you remove all the vB3 <form> and hidden input variables, and replace it with the vB2 ones as well as the PHP code needed in the middle of the HTML code - his instructions don't make it clear.

As the hack author has stated he will support this hack, I will leave the rest to him.

Step 1, download the vb3 control-panel stylesheet, name it to eg admin/vb3cp.css

where do i download this?

Erwin · #16 11-27-2002, 05:34 AM

Another tip - in vB3cp.css, get rid of the references to the background gifs - they don't exist on your server and will slow down the loading of your login page.

Right,
after

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 and $checkpwd) {

it should look like

PHP Code:


			
//  cpheader("<title>Forums admin</title>");

?>

Now for the urls to stylesheets etc

Stylesheet: http://vbulletin.com/forum/clientscr...ntrolpanel.css
save it as admin/cp2.css
vBulletin logo: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/images/cp/cp_logo.gif
save it as admin/cp_newlogo.gif
background image 1: http://vbulletin.com/forum/images/cp...lheader_bg.gif
save it as admin/cp_colheader_bg.gif
background image 2: http://vbulletin.com/forum/images/cp/cp_navbody_bg.gif
save it as admin/cp_navbody_bg.gif
background image 3:
http://vbulletin.com/forum/images/cp/cp_tblhead_bg.gif
save it as admin/cp_tblhead_bg.gif

now, the whole thing should look something like the attachment:

ok ok ok
THIS IS WAY TOO CONFUSING
u should put everything in one file and release the hack
thanks

rylin · #20 11-27-2002, 11:17 AM

we're not allowed to release whole files though? (eg. vbulletin files) :/

Xenon · #21 11-27-2002, 01:16 PM

you can release files you've written yourself, or the instructions here can be put into a file, but you are not allowed to post full vb-files, no matter if you have changed some code in it or not..
