Default Can't get the "Install this hack" to work
I've entered my info correctly i.e. when I click the link to my forum in my Members section it brings it up fine.

I am liscensed, but when I try to install a hack, it appears as things go well, as the page refreshes and then I get the option to uninstall the hack, however no functionality is ever present on the site. Usually I have to have my friend manually edit the files in order to make it work.

Currently I am trying to get the Warning system hack to work, and I was in the process of editing it manually, but it's just TOO much to do. What am I doing wrong as far as getting the hacks to work correctly? I don't have ImpEx installed, but I can have my friend install that if that is needed.

Sorry if this isnt the correct forum, I'm new to this vB stuff and any help is most appreciated.

Thanks.

The Button "Install this Hack" is only meant to keep track of installations, eg. you will be marked as having this hack installed, the auther can send an update-notification and such.

But of course you must install the hack yourself (manually, using the provided installer, etc.)

Btw.: Moved to Site Feedback, I think it fits better there.

Wouldn't it be magical though?

Click a button on a website and hundreds of lines of php code are added/altered, images are transferred, templates modified, and database queries run....

All from clicking Install on vb.org.

*marvels*

Maybe the button should say "Mark This Hack as Installed" instead.

or simply "Tell the author that you installed his hack and you'll be happy to receive updates when he do so..."

we never have enough docs!

as I have said in several previous threads on the same subject - simply changed it from "Install" to "Installed".

It's a gif image. Mmm... something like "I installed this" or "I uninstalled this" , or "Add to Installed List" would be good I think.

I don't know who's got the PSDs of the buttons here... I'll find out and see if we can change it.
