Song of the Day

vBulletin Add-ons

This hack allows you to have a song of the day on your website. It allows you to pick a song from any directory, or even put in a radio stream for your website.

Just open your FORUMHOME template, and find:

vBulletin Tips

I’ve managed to scrape up some defines/constants for use in vBulletin’s config file (config.php)

This forces all userinfo queries to include avatar information.
define(’AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR’, 1);

This bypasses the file checks, e.g that install.php one you get after installation. This is potential security risk, shouldn’t be enabled in production.
define(’BYPASS_FILE_CHECK’, 1);

This defines whether vBulletin is in demo mode or not.
define(’DEMO_MODE’, 1);

This forces all the hooks to be used, however, the above overrides this.
define(’FORCE_HOOKS’, 1);

This disables mail being sent out from your server.
define(’DISABLE_MAIL’, 1);

Wordpress

I have been following the WordPress Theme GPL discussion very closely for as long as I have been involved with WordPress and I am glad that Matt, with the help of the Software Freedom Law Center, has cleared the air. There has been a lot of valuable discussion surrounding this blog post and the issue, here is a small list of what I have read.

Lloyd’s analysis on GPL and themes
Daniel’s view from the other side of the fence (be sure to read through the comments, there is a lot of wisdom there)
