Welcome Panel Template Rewrite v2.1

Introduction:

I found Zero Tolerence's Welcome Panel's template dull, and it had a lot of mistakes on my computer, and it shows up on a lot of the sites I visit that have it. It annoyed me so I threw together my own Template for his hack. This is it. I've called it Welcome Panel Template Rewrite, as that's exactly what it is. It's about to go into it's next version, so be on the look out.

This hack will not work if...

You must install this hack (Zero Tolerence's Welcome Panel) before my hack will work. It requires the plugins. Just don't follow the installation instructions for the template.

Installing:

All you have to do to install this hack is upload the .xml file that's attached to your Products Manager and it'll install the template and phrases.

Note: Be sure to chose the correct .xml! It is reccomended that you chose either v1.3 (location within zip: back releases/v1.x) or v2.1.1's XML file (main folder)!

[rb290]

where is 1.3 and whats different?

[King Kovifor]

Just an installer. And it's got all the phrases so they can't be deleted, like the templates. I forgot to add last night. SRRY!

[Jedric]

Is it just me or is the installer missing?

I have installed it but nothing happens

Note that i have 3.5.0 with some templates fixed, is that ok i think (it worked with all the other plugins/products/hacks i have installed...

Do i have to activate it somewhere?

[King Kovifor]

Did you install the Template Hack by Zero Tolerence?

[lanc3lot]

Exm, do i have to install another hack first and then this u mean?

[King Kovifor]

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. this is an addon. That's why it's a rewrite.

[lanc3lot]

Hm, sorry then

I guess u mean this one right: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=83124

So i just install that and then yours?

Also, write that in your first message, so other dont get confused

Thnx again

[King Kovifor]

Yeah will do, but that's the one.

[lanc3lot]

Question: Do i have to install also Zero's xml or just make the new template and then put your product?

[King Kovifor]

.xml is needed. There's plugins that are needed for this to work. SRRY!

[lanc3lot]

Ok, something last

Is there any other change i can see or just a rewrite?

Sorry to ask this, but i cant see a difference since i installed the product of yours with Zero Hack

[King Kovifor]

if you installed his, than installed mine right away without looking you won't notice it. or if you didn't install his template it's not noticeable. I was getting a bunch of ? as the serperators and the text was messed up. That's the point.
