How To: Grab your copy of multihack from
www.multihack.com , install, and fire it up.
First thing you do is set your paths for your local copy of your forum files. Click on "File >> Options":
Set the paths for your local copy of ubb.classic and where you want the modified files to be output to. It is
highly recommended that you choose a separate folder to output the modified files to so you have a working backup should something go wrong. If an error occurs, you can just upload the files that were unchanged.
Click on "save changes" then download the multihack file(s) for the modifications you want to install from here: https://ubbdev.com/db/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=22 There are more available within the regular forums, these have been tested on the versions they are listed under tho. Once you have them downloaded, click on "import" from within multihack and import it into your program. Your program should then look something like this:
Click on "Analyze". The program will analyze the modification and your files, checking for compatibility (what the software says should be there and what's actually there). Your program should then look something like this:
Once you've seen that the modification should work with your version, click on "Install". The program will edit your files automagically and spit out the edited files plus any new files that come with the modification (if any are needed). Your program should then look something like this:
Upload the changed files to your forum and clear cache. Inspect your forum to make sure no errors are occurring. If you get errors, re-upload the unchanged backup files you have and report the error in the modification's discussion thread. With a little experience, you can do the most complex modifications in minutes.
