'Clean Sessionhash' (1.3 released, all bug's fixed)

Hack: Clean sessionhash 1.3

With this hack installed bits in the url (s=) used for the sessionhash in all vBulletin powered links will be striped when the sessionhash is not in use.

For example, when the sessionhash is off a link on your forum will look like:

index.php?s=

Or if a action is used:

index.php?s=&action=somthing

With this hack installed the s= and un-needed & will be striped out. And will look like this:

index.php?

and:

index.php?action=somthing

How to install:

1: Apply the change to sessions.php listed in the attachment.

2: Edit all templates containing the $session[sessionhash] variable, I am not including a steap by steap template instructions because they vary so much between differnt styles. You will have to do this yourself.

You have to look for two things, links in this format "?s=$session[sessionhash]" should be changed to just "?$session[sessionhashnoamp]". Also links in this format "?s=$session[sessionhash]&" need to be changed to "?$session[sessionhashamp]"

The old $session[sessionhash] var still works as it normally would, so your board will not break if you miss some templates.

Warning!!: Do not edit links that use $session[dbsessionhash]!

This hack is not for the faint of heart to install, it will take some time.

It's another beautiful thing about vB3. At this rate, Anime-loo you're going to upgrade to vB3 line by line.

Sweet hack! Makes the the URL shorter and more user-friendly. And more vB3ish.

Wow, ALL templates.

Is it possible to use a replacement instead?
