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.

yep, that did it for me.
In other words, you should have the permission-check section look like

PHP Code:

if (!ismoderator() or !$permissions['canview']) { 
  include "vb3login.php";
  cpfooter();
  exit;
}
 
// ###################### Start makemodchoosercode ####################### 


Also, note that you'll have to edit the vb3login.php page if you want to use the same stylesheet & pics for mod & admin panel (basically create absolute paths for them)

A complete waste of my time just to enhance the aesthetics of the admin panel to appear like vBulletin 3. Which is why I will probably install it.

Good job maestro.

And yea, I found that out about the mod pannel too, okidoki, I was actually about to post it, but you beat me to it

[CeleronXL]

By the way, it finally worked for me. Thanks okidoki!

/me installed it to the admin and mod panels.

hmm, you have to say, this hack has no use if you want to hear the truth...

but it's a very nice feeling to see that cp-loginscreen
*installs*

I can't agree more
But hey, it's a two minute job that makes you waste^H^H^H^H^Hspend 5 minutes of your time staring at the pretty screen instead of just logging in

I wouldn't mind installing this, but it's too much of a pain to follow this thread. Could someone release a good text file of how this should be installed? Thanks.

There is a ZIP file in the first post.

how do I get it to automatically put my username in the username field like: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/modcp when I go there is puts my vbulletin.com username in the box and puts the cursor on the password box.

I will post my version later on if no one has done this. Mine works just like the vB3 one does, adding in your username automatically if its set etc
