VB3-Style admin-login

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.

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..

Hmm.. right, nice version coming up shortly

Was this rewritten at all or just a save as ... file.htm

the login page was ripped straight off, path-names to images & css changed, form-fields changed.
global.php was hacked to simply include() the page

after a quick look, i believe it should be enough if you follow the above instructions but look for

PHP Code:

if (!ismoderator() or !$permissions['canview']) { 


instead

also, a few rows after this, you should see

PHP Code:

<?php
  cpfooter();
  exit;
}

you should *not* do anything past that
I'll verify it by fixing on my site.. gimme a few minutes
