what are the differences that need to be addressed to convert a hack from the 2x version to the 3x version?

I think it greatly depends on the hack.
Functions and more have changed greatly from v2->v3 but some queries could possibly be still reused from the v2 hack version.

their are a few good vb2 hacks that still work on vb3 but excludes most database installations but its a rare find to actually find them

ok so where would i start to learn the new info for the vb3 in order to start from scratch and work on this problem

you would have to know PHP to be able to create a hack and just basically know the VB3 code

im pretty afluent in php and am just wanting to learn the new vb3 code and looking for where i should start?

eva01_ · #9 02-16-2005, 02:17 AM

start by just looking at your forums code, just download a copy of the VB3 from the members area and look at what everything does. then install a beta forum that no one else can see, and test your modifications on it

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
