Phpbb forum hacks....

[NightCrawler_X]

Hey does anyone know where or HOW i can get some hacks for my phpbb forum? I mean nothing heavy duty, just like maybe name glows or a store maybe. Is it even possible to hack your username on phpbb to make it glow? Thanx for all the help in advance.

BTW i am really bad at hacking and stuff so i don't know if i would know how to do it, so if there is just a way you could download a package and upload it to my site or something, that would be great. Thanx.


EDIT: Ok, i found a phpBB username glow hack from phpbbhacks.com. If i have any questions on installing it, ill post it here for you guys to help.

EDIT AGAIN: I have a minor problem. I am almost done, but i cant seem to find something in the viewtopic.php file -

echo "<TD valign=top><FONT FACE="$FontFace" COLOR="$textcolor" size="$FontSize2"><b>$posterdata[username]</b></FONT><br>";

I'm not sure if its just because its a different type of mark-up language or something, or if its just not in there. Im supposed to replace it with this -

//start glow hack

$glowname = glowingnick($posterdata[user_level], $posterdata[username], $posterdata[user_posts]);
echo "<TD valign="top"><FONT FACE="$FontFace" COLOR="$textcolor" size="$FontSize2"><b>$glowname</font></b>";
//end glow hack

So does anyone know where I can find it? I think it might just be a different language...

um...phpbb.com? Go to the mods section

sometimes it's slightly different (they have an extra space or something) so just copy a smaller section of what you are supposed to find, and in viewtopic.php, press ctrl + f, paste and search. just search with smaller and smaller fragments.

Ok thanx. Well I am having trouble with another hack. i just finished the first upgrade for the shop hack, but when I open or look at the viewtopic.php on my forum, it says "Could not obtain post/user information." And I think the reason is because it doesn't work when i do this...

------[FIND]------
u.user_items,

------[ADD, After]------
u.user_privs, u.user_effects,


So when i add those two extra coding things, it doesn't seem to work! So can anyone please help me? thanx

This is really frustrating because I cant do anything else until this works!

Well i already know where I got the hacks, lol. But do you know what my problem is with this shop hack?

[codePhoenix]

The shop hack never worked on my phpBB. I don't know why, either.
