End-User Options - AnyVersion: User select a Custom Cursor

Hello all...

I am posting this in this forum as i use 3.7 but this goes for all versions as this one is simple to apply everywhere..

What does this do

It gives the user the option to use a custom cursor and if so select one in a pulldown selection menu


Estimated installation time: 10 minutes

OK here we go, this one is so simple you will laugh your socks off!

Step 1 uploading files
create a directory cursors in the forums image directory
unrar the attached cursors
upload them in the directory forums/images/cursors

Note: some of these cursors in the package were made by: azn_romeo_4u

Step 2 Creating new Profile Fields
Go into the adminpanel and add a new User Profile Field

Type: Single-Selection Radio Buttons
Title: Use Custom Cursors

Options: Yes No
Set default: Yes if you want the hack to be turned on by default
Field required: If you like

Private Field: No
